The People's Liberation Army Navy Submarine Force is a branch of the People's Liberation Army Navy. It consists of all types of submarines in operational service organized into three fleets: the North Sea Fleet, the East Sea Fleet, and the South Sea Fleet. Submarines have long been one of the three focuses of the People's Liberation Army Navy (the other two are aircraft and attack boats), and when the decision was made in the late 2006 to concentrate on building other principal surface combatants to strengthen the air defense and to further delay the construction of aircraft carriers due to insufficient air cover, submarines will continue to play the lead dominant role in the assault force for the PLAN. Its surface branch counterpart is the People's Liberation Army Navy Surface Force. ==Nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines== The PLAN currently operates two classes of ballistic missile submarines, with a further class under development: * Type 096 submarine (NATO designation Tang-class) - In development. * Type 094 submarine (NATO designation Jin-class) - 4 in active service. 1 more to be commissioned. * Type 092 submarine (NATO designation Xia-class) - 1 in active service. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「People's Liberation Army Navy Submarine Force」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
