"In order to avoid interference by fishermen, 039G submarine in the head specially fitted with fishing net cutter ... Recently a Chinese 039G submarine's latest photo exposure caused concern. Screen display is at sea in the submarine, its superstructure and hull fillet joints have been designed, the bow position, there are two projections of the blade member, suspected of fishing nets cutter to avoid interference nets installed ... fishing nets to interfere with the idea of ​​submarine sailing ... Chinese Navy retired Major General Zhang Zhaozhong in 2013, 'Defense New Watch' program pointed out that because he had been in the submarine, the Korean Peninsula on the west side of the shallow, and therefore are floating in the sea and out, and 'people keep kelp' nylon rope tied easily stirred into the propeller, speculated that the US nuclear submarine into the port is unlikely. This statement came out at the time attracted friends ridicule said, 'even the kelp than the nuclear missiles can frighten the Yankees, can be called a green pollution-free war, the people vigorously breeding kelp war.' ... designed to reverse the propeller's underwater defense system ... apply for eight national invention patents ... the submarine does exist risk of being caught by fishing nets. The latest picture of the network exposure can be clearly seen, 039G submarine's new mysterious device is likely to be used to 'cut fishing nets'"

Apparently, this is a legitimate problem faced by submariners:

"On 22 June, a North Korean Yugo-class submarine became entangled in a fishing driftnet in South Korean waters approximately 18 km east of the port of Sokcho and 33km south of the inter-Korean border. A South Korean fishing boat observed several submarine crewmen trying to untangle the submarine from the fishing net. The fishing boat notified the Republic of Korea Navy and a corvette towed the submarine with the crew still inside to a navy base at the port of Donghae. The submarine sank as it was being towed into port, it was unclear if this was as a result of damage or a deliberate scuttling by the crew"

"French fishermen bagged the biggest catch of their lives when they reeled in a Portuguese submarine. The 220ft navy vessel got tangled in the net of a trawler off the English coast ... Blissfully unaware there was an assault sub below them, fully equipped with eight torpedoes and four harpoons, the fishermen plodded along with their work. The Tridente-class submarine, which weighs more than 2,000 tonnes, got stuck in the net and hit the fishing boat as it tried to surface. 'The submarine immediately surfaced and made contact with the trawler' ... These types of events are not uncommon in British waters, with two incidents last year alone ... In March 2015,  a trawler captain claimed his boat was nearly dragged down by a Russian submarine while fishing off the Scottish coast ... A month later, another vessel was left badly damaged off the coast of Northern Ireland. Initially the Russians were blamed for the incident, but in September last year the Royal Navy finally claimed responsibility."

LOL, Our sonars in our (American) every day bass boats today can see fishing line in the water let alone something as thick as rope from a net. Just goes to show how limited their tech is and how crazy advanced the U.S. stuff is today let alone ten years ago.
