Reader comment - Chinese sub and MTU

Concerned

Even the Chinese use MTU in their submarines."The Chinese built Type 039/039G/039G1 Song
SSK achieved IOC in 1999 and remains on offer
for export, with 12 to 16 boats claimed to be
operational. This is a modern quiet SSK, clad
with anechoic tiles, with six 533 mm bow tubes
and powered by three licenced German MTU
16V396SE84 diesel engines, with an electrically
driven seven-blade low noise screw
