	Type 091 (Han Class) Nuclear-Powered Attack Submarine \| Navy \| SinoDefence.com
		Before the mid-1980s the submarine was not operational due to the lack of a suitable torpedo and its associated fire-control system.
		For many years it was speculated that the last three boats of the Type 091 attack submarine (403, 404, and 405) have their hulls stretched by 8m after the sail to be fitted with the submarine-launched version of the YJ-8 (C-801) anti-ship missile and its associated fire-control system.
		The submarine has six 533mm torpedo tubes, and carries a total of 20 torpedoes including Yu-3 (SET-65E)(active/passive homing to 15km at 40kt; warhead 205kg) and Yu-1 (Type 53-51)(unguided to 9.2km at 39kt or 3.7km at 51kt; warhead 400 kg).

		The difference in the two submarine encounters provides strong evidence of the maturation of the PLAN submarine force, an undertaking that was triggered by Washington’s response to the 1996 Taiwan Strait crisis.
