Public description
The Jin Type 094 class is the PLAN's sea-based nuclear-deterrent submarine class. Nuclear propulsion and submarine-launched ballistic missiles give it strategic deterrence value rather than ordinary sea-control value, while torpedo armament provides self-defence. Its importance lies in extending China's nuclear force structure to continuous or more survivable at-sea patrols.
