The Type 094 (NATO reporting name: Jin-class; Chinese: 晋级潜艇) is a new class of ballistic missile submarine developed by the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy. The first-of-class has reportedly been under construction at Huludao Shipyard in Huludao, Liaoning Province since 1999 and was launched in July 2004.

In late 2006, a commercial satellite photographed what is believed to be the new Jin-class submarine moored in Xiaopingdao Submarine Base. In comparison with the older Type 092-class submarine, it has been elongated from 122m to 133m in order to house the missile tubes and part of the reactor.^[1] Speculation as to why China would leave their new submarine out in the open is just beginning. Some are saying that this is a deterrent and is designed to show an advancing China^[2].

The Type 094 submarine is capable of carrying 12 of the more modern JL-2s with a range of approximately 8000 km, and is capable of targeting much of the United States, some of it from close to the Chinese coast.

Another recent discovery by users of the Google earth shows two more potential Jin Class submarine sightings in drydock. However one may be the previously identified Jin class sub discovered earlier. [1] In October 2007 the first photograph of the new 094 class was published on the internet. As the picture shows the new submarine will not carry 16 JL-2 SLBMs but only 12. [2] The JL-2 is a Chinese Submarine-launched ballistic missile with a range of 8,000 kilometers, currently in development for use in a new SSBN, Type 094. ...
