But it is definitely behind the last pair of missile tubes. 094 has six pair of missile tubes and you can count six pair of hatches in front of this thing. It's interesting to know, what this thing is for.

yea, its huge. Reminds me of the soviet delta IV class from the 80´s. I dont think that a hunchback so big is good for hydrodynamics. Perhabs they should have built a bigger sub.

I'm sure they wanted to, but the technologies needed for large diameter hull and a more powerful reactor would be the main limiting factors.

If true, this could be powerful indication that china´s nuclear submarine technology is behind the other nuclear powers. They couldnt/cant built anything bigger than type 094.
