The Ming is a Chinese variant of the Russian Romeo-class submarine.
Mings differ from the Romeo in having a slightly different powerplant (giving it a 9 kilometer per hour advantage over the Romeo’s top submerged speed) and a larger hull that adds about 400 tons of displacement.
The Ming is a much simpler design than some of the other submarines China is trying to build (like the Song-class and Yuan-class SSKs, variants of the French Agosta-class and the Type 93 and Type 94 nuclear-powered submarines).

An accident on board a Chinese vessel on Friday appears to have involved a Ming class submarine - an obsolete boat used largely for patrol and coastal defence duties.
The Ming is essentially a modernised version of the Romeo class of boats - an old Soviet design, itself based on late-World War II German U-boats.
The first three Ming class boats entered service during the 1970s - but there were problems and one was scrapped after a fire.

Ming is an open-source (LGPL) library which allows you to create SWF ("Flash") format movies.
Ming supports almost all of Flash 4's features, including: shapes, gradients, bitmaps (pngs and jpegs), morphs ("shape tweens"), text, buttons, actions, sprites ("movie clips"), streaming mp3, and color transforms --the only thing that's missing is sound events.
Ming provides some insulation from the mundane details of the SWF file format, wrapping the movie elements in PHP objects.

 [No title]
The fact the Ming was found partly submerged could imply she had an accident, while diving or submerged, that began to suffocate the crew, and they tried to surface but didn't make it in time.
One leading theory for the cause of death is an "engine run-on casualty," in which one or both of the Ming's big diesel engines continued to operate after the sub was closed-up for diving -- or started operating by accident when the sub was deeply submerged.
The Ming, in fact, because it's an update of known Russian designs, is very likely to have had automatic devices for doing this shut-down, even if the crew were overcome or confused.
