We will see 054B this year or next, but it is never going to be like this CG, far too much for a A to B upgrade.

Going by the latest "eight-part essay" productions of both 095 SSN and 096 SSBN are in full swing. :enjoy:

That is extremely good to hear!
Will 096 get inducted with JL-3 off the bat, or is it expected to start operations with JL-2 first?

Quantum leap in ALL that matter. :china:

Can you post the essay? Do we know what stage of construction they're in?

That is extremely good to hear!
Will 096 get inducted with JL-3 off the bat, or is it expected to start operations with JL-2 first?

Not sure, but the rocket motor for the JL-3 first stage was supposedly tested in 2017, so the project is definitely in full swing. Henri K. predicts an entry-to-service date of 2026, roughly in line with the 09VI program.
