Public summary
The Ming Type 035 class is an older Chinese diesel-electric submarine family derived from earlier Romeo-line designs. It provided coastal patrol, training and secondary sea-denial capacity for decades, but it is now a legacy submarine compared with Song, Yuan and nuclear-powered classes. Its operational value is limited in high-end comparisons.
