Satellite images of a Chinese shipyard suggest the country may have developed a new class of nuclear-powered attack submarines, Reuters reported Tuesday.
The images clearly show a submarine in dry dock, but shrouds over key areas of the vessel make it difficult to determine whether it is an entirely new class of ship or merely an upgrade to an existing model, according to Reuters. The changes in question relate to adding vertical-launching missile tubes for guided missiles as well as an upgraded propulsion system.
The images were captured at China's Huludao Port in the Liaoning province.
The parts of the ship that would house both the launch tubes and propulsion are covered with what appears to be green tarp. The propulsion upgrade, if applied, would replace traditional spinning propellors with quieter pump-jets, according to Reuters.
While the U.S. Navy has long had such vessels, the development would be a new one for China's burgeoning Navy. The U.S. military has also been monitoring the Chinese military for development of a nuclear-powered fast attack submarine in recent years.

While I do have first hand knowledge of nuclear submarines It’s dated all the way back to when Reagan was president. All the same it looks like the Chinese steal the best of our technology then have their own people modify it for some improvements. With their own probe on Mars now wondering around on that planet they litterly have come a long ways since when Mao was in charge
They must have received upgraded engineering specs from the White House. Wonder if the payments went to the Hillabeast, the Pelosiwench, the HO, or the Big Guy. (Come on, you KNOW they got payments.)
