POSSIBLE MISSILE/SUBMARINE-RELATED OBJECTS
HULUDAO NAVAL BASE. SHIPYARD AND PORT FACILITY, CHINA
1. (S/D) SIGNIFICANCE: NEW CYLINDERS, POSSIBLY MISSILE OR
SUBMARINE RELATED ARE OBSERVED.
2. (S/D) REMARKS: ELEVEN NEW CYLINDERS, POSSIBLY MISSILE OR
SUBMARINE RELATED, ARE OBSERVED AT HULUDAO NVL BASE SHYD A PORT
FACILITY. THE CYLINDERS, AT LEAST 8.0 METERS LONG AND NO LONGER
THEY ARE
APPROXIMATELY THE SAME SIZE AS, AND MAY BE RELATED TO, THE
MISSILE TUBE OR TUBE LINER OF THE XIA NUCLEAR-POWERED BALLISTIC
MISSILE SUBMARINE (SSBN). THE CYLINDERS ARE ALSO COMPATIBLE IN
SIZE WITH THE MISSILE CANISTER AND EJECTION TEST DUMMY
ASSOCIATED WITH THE WU-1 SOLID-FUEL SUBMARINE-LAUNCHED
BALLISTIC MISSILE (SLBM). ANOTHER POSSIBLE FUNCTION FOR THE
CYLINDERS WOULD BE AS BALLAST CANS, WHICH SHOULD BE SIMILAR IN
SIZE TO THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED MISSILE-RELATED ITEMS;
HOWEVER, SUCH CANS HAVE YET TO BE IDENTIFIED FOR THE XIA
SSBN/WU-1 SLBM PROGRAM. DUE TO THE NUMBER OF CYLINDERS OBSERVED
AND THE MANNER IN WHICH THEY ARE STORED, THEY ARE PROBABLY NOT
WU-1 MISSILES OR MISSILES STORED INSIDE OF CANISTERS. THE
CYLINDERS HAVE BEEN PRESENT
