Satellite imagery shows China’s newly spotted large submarine design without a traditional sail/conning tower Satellite imagery reports a previously unknown Chinese large submarine featuring an unusual layout that omits a conventional sail/conning tower. Researcher H I Sutton flags the design as distinctive, and framing suggests it could represent a fast-attack-sized platform with interceptor/rapid-attack relevance.
