The site near the Bohai shipyard, where all of China’s nuclear submarines are currently built, is still being developed. But the main constriction halls have been complete for some time. New commercial satellite imagery appears to show the first hull section of a new submarine. The exact class of submarine has not yet been confirmed, But it is possibly either the first Type-095 Tang-class attack submarine (SSN) or the first Type-096 ballistic missile sub (SSBN).
