The Type 093 (Chinese: 09-III型核潜艇; Chinese designation: 09-III; NATO reporting name: Shang class) is a class of second generation nuclear-powered attack submarines deployed by the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy Submarine Force. The improved Type 093G (reported as Type 093A by Western analysts) is longer than the Type 093. The 093G is now confirmed having a vertical launching system (VLS) for YJ-18 supersonic anti-ship missiles, and anti-ship variants of the CJ-10 cruise missile.
They are constructed at the Bohai Shipyard in Huludao. These boats are expected to replace the older Type 091 submarines.
