Public summary
The Shang Type 093 class is the PLAN's modern nuclear attack submarine family and supports blue-water undersea operations. Its roles include ASW, anti-surface warfare, intelligence support and escorting high-value naval forces at longer range than diesel-electric submarines. The class marks China's move toward a more durable nuclear-powered attack-submarine force, though exact variant capabilities vary.
