Type 093 submarines of China show the country's developing underwater combat capability. These nuclear-powered assault submarines have a new tear-drop hull design best for high-speed operations and have sophisticated noise reducing technologies. While its weapons suite includes both anti-ship cruise missiles and heavy torpedoes, the submarine's fighting system combines Chinese-developed sonar arrays with sophisticated signal processing capabilities. A major development in Chinese naval capability is the nuclear propulsion system of the vessel, which gives it great endurance and lets it function in far-off seas.
