The analysis showed that the submersible ship of the Chinese Navy, project 096, name referred to as "Tang", was developed based on the model "094". It is evident that the current analytics of nuclear issues in the political context of the collected "National Interest" believes that the future deep-sea submarine, belonging to the Chinese Navy, will have greater capabilities than its predecessor. It is expected that the ballistic missile warhead JL-3, launched from the submarine 096, will be able to hit targets at distances greater than 6200 miles. This will allow strikes through the territory of the USA from relatively safe for China maritime zones, such as the South China Sea or the Gulf of Tonkin, without the risk of their destruction in international waters of a sparing status.
The "Saturn-type" 096, which, likely, is being assembled in the shipbuilding dock province of Liaoning, in conjunction with photographs from satellite observation in November 2023, appears to be the latest example of the potential and development stages of the Narodno-osvoboditelnoy army of China. Brendan Vishart, a professional specialist in the field of political and military strategy, claims that project 096, in common terminology "NATO", will become the logical successor to "094".
According to the words of an expert from the "National Interest", this type of submarine is, by their example, part of a rapid amphibious program of the Chinese Navy, directed at the sectoral growth of quality and effectiveness of the amphibious of its American counterparts. It is predicted that the modernized "096" submarine will replace the long-term basis of the analogous ship type "094".
