Type 096 submarine
The Type 096 (NATO reporting name: Tang class) is a projected class of nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine (SSBN) for China's People's Liberation Army Navy Submarine Force. The submarine was expected to begin construction in the early 2020s and be armed with the JL-3 SLBM. Recent analysis deduced that China is on track to complete the first Type 096 and make it operational before the end of the decade. Type 096 submarine is believed to improve China's undersea second strike capability. The submarine is believed to have similar acoustic quieting technology used in Russia's Akula-class submarine.
