Completed sea trial on Sep 2012 and commissioned in Oct 16.
Some specs: Length 92.6m width 10m. draft 6.85m. Max speed 10 knots surfaced, 14 knots submerged. Surface standard displacement 3797 tons, submerged max displacement 6628 tons.

a test submarine to succeed the Great Wall 200 Golf class SSB, incidentally its penant number is 201.
It features an escape pod, and will test SLBM, SLCM or other anti-ship missiles etc. Apparently I'd bet SLCM
would be installed on 095. And since testing of JL-2 for 094 has been completed by Great Wall 200, the new
test sub would test JL-3 for the 096.
