According to Indian reports, the new factory area of China's Bohai Shipyard has begun to appear. The construction project reported by the Indian side this time started in 2015. As of now, it has been two years. The new factory with a width of 285 meters and an area of 130 meters has been basically completed.
Indian media also stated in the report that based on the satellite display screen it received, there is reason to speculate that China is carrying out the construction of the Type 096 nuclear submarine. Based on the volume of the factory, the number of built ships is likely to be around 6 ships, and this speculation has also been recognized by most people.
It is reported that the length of my country's Type 096 nuclear submarine will be about 150 meters, and its width will reach 20 meters, and its displacement will be at least 16,000 tons. The 096 type's military configuration is also very outstanding, with 24 "Jiulang"-3 missiles, a range of 8,000-12,000 kilometers, and the ability to carry DF series missiles has made its combat power soar.
In addition, my country's 096 type deep diving capacity has reached about 600 meters. Overall, the influence of a 096 type is already amazing, not to mention that 6 096s are deployed at the same time, and their overall combat power is even more incredible. It is precisely because of this that the worries of some countries have aggravated a little.
According to US media reports, the US has accelerated the development of the " Virginia " class new nuclear submarine, and its purpose is to be able to balance with China and Russia in underwater confrontation. The new "Virginia" mentioned in this report will use software and electronics as the main driving methods to achieve the purpose of silent submersible in shallow waters.
As of 2017, the new "Virginia" has completed the delivery of the first two batches, and the third batch is also under intensive construction. The design of the "Tomahawk" vertical tube of this type of submarine also increases its combat power by a higher level, which is also a warning for my country to step up the development of underwater combat power.
