The
Type 032 submarine (NATO code name
Qing class) is a class of diesel-electric submarine currently undergoing testing in China's People's Liberation Army Navy. It is said to be the world's largest conventional submarine, at a submerged displacement of 6628 tons and is able to submerge for a maximum of 30 days. The Type 032 has a similar ventral "bay" to the Golf class submarine that protrudes downward.
The submarine is a testbed for new technologies such as combustion powered torpedoes, compartments for special forces, underwater unmanned vehicles,
new SLBMs,
new cruise missiles,
new anti ship missiles, new SAMs, and a new escape pod which are applied to the
Type 095 and
Type 096 submarines.
