Satellite images suggest China may be making a new class of stealthy attack submarine

Satellite imagery suggests China is building a new attack submarine at Jiangnan Shipyard in Shanghai.

Analysts think it could be a new class or an improved Type 093 variant, with features that may reduce noise and improve underwater performance.

Its exact class and propulsion remain unconfirmed, but the design points to greater stealth and undersea capability.

If confirmed, it would complicate U.S. and allied naval operations across the Indo-Pacific.
