Satellite imagery from Shanghai’s Jiangnan Shipyard suggests China may be developing a new class of nuclear-powered attack submarine with enhanced stealth capabilities. Analysts note the vessel features a significantly smaller sail compared to existing Type 093 submarines, potentially improving its operational effectiveness. The submarine was first publicly identified by naval analyst H.I. Sutton in early June, with further reports from TWZ and Japan’s Asahi Shimbun. High-resolution images indicate the submarine is approximately 120 meters long and 10 meters wide, making it longer than current models while maintaining a similar width. Experts like Timothy Heath of Perceptum LLC suggest it represents a new design, though the propulsion system remains unclear.
