 Type 92 Xia - China Nuclear Forces
The HAN class submarine is a nuclear powered torpedo attack boat.
While this class boat greatly improved the Chinese Navy's distant defense capabilities against enemy nuclear equipped surface forces, one of its most significant features was that it served as a stepping stone in the development of a Chinese nuclear powered, submarine launched ballistic missile (SSBN) force.
The Xia class SSBN was initially armed with 12 JL-1 (CSS-N-3) SLBMs.A major update of the class started in 1995 to fit the new JL-2 SLBM system, with the upgrade expected to be completed in 1998.

The Xia class SSBN is capable of delivering nuclear warheads to targets over a thousand miles away, making it an important part of the PRC's nuclear deterrence.
The Chien Lung class was acquired from the Netherlands to augment, and eventually replace, the aging Guppy class submarines.
It is based on the Romeo class submarine and has been improved over the years with variants capable of launching anti-ship missiles utilizing different release methods.

Recently the remaining boats of Han class were given a new fl paint which is more popular among navies of other countries than the original green-blue color.
The follow-on of Han class called Type 093/09 III (8,000t dived, comparable to Russian Victor III class in the late 70s) is now believed to be under construction and could haven been launched by the end of 2000.
For years Xia 406 has been PLAN's sole nuclear deterrence force, which appears limited and ineffective (although it was rumored that a 2nd boat was built but this was never confirmed).

The submarine is, at a minimum, months away from having missiles installed and going on a cruise, one official said, discussing foreign weapons developments only on the condition of anonymity.
It was widely known that China was building the new class of nuclear-missile submarine, called the "Type 094," but the launch is far ahead of what U.S. intelligence expected, one official said.
The Chinese military has also been developing a new class of submarine-launched ballistic missile, called the JL-2, that is expected to have a range in excess of 4,600 miles.

The Xia class SSBN was initially armed with 12 JL-1 (CSS-N-3) SLBMs.
It is generally agreed that the single unit of this class entered the shipyard in 1995.
As of March 2001 the US Defense Intelligence Agency reported that the single XIA class SSBN was "not operational." The boat, fitted with 12 JL-1 or JL-1A missiles, had been expected to return to service in mid-1999.

The JL-1 [CSS-N-3] is a two-stage solid-propellant submarine-launched ballistic missile deployed on the Type-092 Xia class submarines.
The first successful launch of the JL-1 was achieved on 12 October 1982, from a Golf Class trials submarine, marking a major milestone in a development program that had been initiated in March 1967.
The first firing from Xia was in 1985 and was unsuccessful and it was not until 27 September 1988 that a satisfactory launch took place.

Xia is both the singular and plural (male and female) name of a kind of ancient Chinese warrior.
Perhaps the most paradoxical characteristic of the xia is that they fight outside the system, often for the very same values espoused by the mass of society.
Some xia will want to fight unarmed, so a shengong that augments unarmed damage is ok. Either one at each level thjat augments the die type by one step (1d8 to 1d10 to 2d6 etc.) at each level of shengong, or gain the next range in your class (monk, inkyo shaman or martial artist).

But of course with PLAN's expansion of her 093,094,Yuan, and Kilo class, by 2015, even the mighty USN won't be able to touch China so easily.
