The Type 094 (NATO reporting name: Jin class) is the second generation of the chinese Navy nuclear ballistic missile submarine (SSBN) to replace the type 092 (Xia class) SSBN of a single hull commissioned in 1983. The Type 094 was designed by the CSIC Ship Design Institute Wuhan second (also known as Institute 719) in Wuhan, Hubei province and built by CSIC Bohai Shipbuilding Heavy Industry Co. Ltd. (formerly known as Bohai Shipyard) in Huludao, province Liaoning.
The Type 094 has the capacity to carry 12 ballistic missiles launched from submarines (SLBM). The JuLang 2 SLBM designed and developed by CASIC fourth Academy is a three-stage solid fuel ballistic missile strategy. It evolved from the land Dongfeng 31 (DF-31) intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). The maximum range of JuLang 2 was estimated at 7,000 ~ 8. 000 km, three times that of the first generation SLBM JuLang one used by the Type 092.
