		Therefore, the guiding direction for the development of the first generation medium-sized conventional-powered submarine was to utilize to the full the experience gained in the copying work and also the improved design as well as the existing technical foundation and make breakthroughs in principal technologies such as underwater cruising speed.
		Due to adopting these measures, with the submarine volumetric displacement not increasing very much in comparison with the improved version of Soviet medium-sized conventional-powered submarine, her underwater propelling power and the battery energy was doubled, thus ensuring the submarine's propulsion characteristics.
		Images acquired of the submarine and some of its sister ships illustrate a mountainous geography near the naval base which would be consistent with the north but inconsistent with information concerning the submarine base at Qingdao.
