China transfers secondhand submarine to Myanmar
By Mike Yeo
Dec 30, 2021



MELBOURNE, Australia – China has transferred a former People’s Liberation Army Navy diesel-electric attack submarine to Myanmar, marking the first transfer of such equipment between the two countries.

The commissioning of the Type 035 or Ming-class submarine, which has been named the UMS Minye Kyaw Htin, brings the Southeast Asian nation’s fleet to two boats. In March 2020, Myanmar took delivery of a Russian-built Project 877 Kilo-class boat from India.

According to an announcement from Myanmar’s military, Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, the commander-in-chief of Myanmar’s military and leader of the military government that took power in February following a coup, attended a Dec. 24 commissioning ceremony for the submarine.
The date coincided with the 74th anniversary of the navy and, in addition to the submarine, also saw the induction of the Inlay-class Offshore Patrol Vessel UMS Inwa, two 18-meter riverine fast attack craft and four 20m riverine patrol boats.
