Nuclear submarines "mass production", the production of the "big black fish" has begun to "surge".
The mass "production" of the 093B attack nuclear submarine, there are four in the shipyard for launching and outfitting, meaning that the entire shipyard should have at least eight nuclear submarines being built simultaneously. This is the second major surge in nuclear submarine production in the world since the US and USSR's nuclear submarine "explosion" in the 1970s.
It means that the next generation of our nuclear submarines will be generally equipped with vertical launch missile systems, which may include the hypersonic anti-ship missile YJ-21, land-attack cruise missiles, and anti-ship missiles, which will greatly enhance the submarine's strike range and striking power, allowing our attack nuclear submarines to have a three-dimensional strike capability.
Pump jet propulsion systems are obviously a major advantage, as well as integrated information command and combat control, with good situational awareness capabilities.
Just like we continuously improved the 052-class guided missile destroyers until the large-scale construction of the 052D model. The attack nuclear submarine has also gone through a series of gradual improvements from the long humpback version, to the small humpback "Diaoyu Island" version, to the long waterline longitudinal seam review version, and then to the version with the vertical launch system + pump jet. After more than 20 years of a series of step-by-step improvements, the 093 attack nuclear submarine has finally entered the kingdom of freedom.
This indicates that we have mastered and already applied the most modern nuclear submarine technologies, including natural circulation reactor, precision acoustic tiles, shock absorption floating raft, active noise reduction, filled corner sail, pump jet propulsion system, single and double shell composite hull, large diameter pressure hull, side array sonar, main and passive combined towed array sonar, vertical launch missile system, fast continuous missile launch technology, and integrated combat information command system.
I estimate that the performance level of the latest 093B nuclear submarine may be equivalent to the state of the latest version of the Los Angeles III (688i) or the first-generation Virginia-class nuclear submarine at the beginning of this century. It exceeds the level of the Russian Yasen M (885M) nuclear submarine.
