Xiaopingdao

Xiaopingdao naval base. A relatively new SSBN facility associated with the new Type 094 Jin-class SSBN currently being fielded.
Jin-class SSBNs have been identified at this facility in the past and Xiaopingdao is also home to the PLAN's sole Golf-class SSB.
The Golf-class SSB is employed as an SLBM test vehicle and is currently likely supporting JL-2 SLBM trials for the Type 094 fleet.
The transitory nature of Jin-class SSBN presence at Xiaopingdao, as well as the Golf-class SSB's presence, suggests that Xiaopingdao may not be home to operational SSBNs, but may instead be a trials base where new SSBNs and SLBMs are tested before entering operational service.
