Peoples keep thinking why the hump is so big.

But the recent photo gave us an answer. Please notice the fat belly, the design was same with the golf class SLBM submarine, it was in order to contain the SLBM.

the size difference btween yuan/qing class is very huge

no doubt

this image has certainly confirmed that qing class is atleast capable of slbm

the qing class weighs

4200-5000tonnes

Its submerge displacement can even be up to 6500 tons, that's why it looks so fat because a SLBM like JL-2 is about 13.5 meters in length (comparable to Trident II and bigger than Bulava), a conventional sub must be fat in order to host these huge missiles. :coffee:
 
Those photos are old. The Qing submarine is capable of launching ASBM. In a South China Sea scenario, USS George Washington will face multiple ASBM from multiple directions -- land-launched from mainland China and sea-launched from multiple Qing submarines, lurking silently under the South China Sea using advanced AIP and electric batteries.

The ASBM was just a modified JL-1A, so it always doesn't matter whether it is landbased or seabased. :coffee:

Fortunately Carrier groups have defences in all directions.
 
but how many missiles can it destroy?

we can produce a vast number of these missiles to attack the carrier groups, one hit and it will paralyze it.
Obviously man.....that's why not many countries have ABM's, as they can provide only limited defence........
But the thing to remember is that it takes a very small missile to take out another and thus can be carried in large Numbers......
And I don't think China with only limited BM's at their disposal would want to waste 40-50 of these on one carrier......
