The Type 094 (Chinese: 094型核潜艇; NATO reporting name: Jin-class) is a class of ballistic missile submarine developed by China for the People's Liberation Army Navy Submarine Force. The Type 094 succeeds the Type 092 submarine.

Background

The Type 094 was first spotted in 2006 on commercial satellite imagery of the Xiaopingdao Submarine Base. It was noted as being longer than the Type 092.^[4] Two Type 094s were spotted at the Bohai Shipyard in May 2007, although it was not clear if these included the one spotted in 2006.^[5]

In 2008 the United States Department of Defense concluded that the Type 094 was not yet operational.^[6] One was operational in 2010,^[1] three in 2013,^[7] and four in 2015.^[2]

No operational patrols have been made; development of the JL-2 has suffered repeated delays. The first successful test launch of a JL-2 from a Type 094 occurred in 2009.^[8] In 2015, the United States expected the first operational patrol to occur "in the near future."^[9]

Description

The Type 094 is armed with 12 JL-2 SLBMs, each with an estimated range of 7400-8000 km.^[10]^[7]^[8]
