Big isn't it? The Qing class on the left is enormous for an SSK

The middle and right subs are newly launched improved Yuan class. The one on the right is the Qing. Comparatively it is much larger than the already sizable 4200 ton improved Yuans. The tower alone is at least twice as large and even partially submerged it is longer than the Yuan fully afloat. It is massive.

As far as I know it is a SSK. And I think it would be around 6000 tons. Its dimensions certainly reflect that more. And Chinese nuclear subs get bigger every time not smaller.

So that means the Qing class would be much larger than kilo class as well? An ocean going quite diesel sub?
