The Type 035G submarine class, which once peaked at twelve boats, has now effectively disappeared from the PLAN service. Two were sold to the Bangladesh Navy in 2013, two have been converted into museum or theme‑park attractions, and the remaining boats are currently being scrapped.

Photo of the day: 2 ex-PLAN Ming class submarines in Bangladesh
I found the semi-submersible "Taikang Kou" in this picture is much more
interesting than the 2 Mings on its back -- such an amphibious warfare
capable asset will be STUFT-ed (Ships Taken Up From Trade)into military
service in time of war, I guarantee it.
The release, signed by ISPR spokeswoman Syed Taposhi Rabeya, reads the type 035G class submarines will become part of the country’s naval fleet at the beginning of next year. The submarines will be named BNS Nabajatra and BNS Joyjatra respectively.
Bangladesh took delivery on Monday of its first submarines, bought from China, as it seeks to boost its naval power in the Bay of Bengal.
