China's People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) has a submarine fleet that includes both nuclear-powered and diesel-electric submarines. The PLAN's submarine fleet is considered the backbone of its forces, and submarines are one of the three main focuses of the PLAN, along with aircraft and major surface combatants. As of August 2024, the PLAN's fleet includes:
Ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs): 6
Nuclear-powered attack submarines (SSNs): 6
Diesel-electric attack submarines (SSKs): 48
The PLAN is currently developing its nuclear-powered submarine capabilities, and in January 2024, the Institute for National Defense and Security Research reported that China has two new nuclear submarines that are comparable to those used by the US and Russia. The submarines, the Type 095 and Type 096, no longer have a "turtle-back" design. China is also equipping its submarines with the JL-3, a third-generation missile with a range of over 10,000 kilometers that can carry multiple warheads and reach the continental United States from Chinese coastal waters.
