09JUN25 - Saw this image while reading the news this morning, it's a shot of two, Chinese Type 94 ballistic missile submarines.

They are about half the size of our Ohio Class SSBN's and only carry twelve, five thousand mile range nuclear ballistic missiles while our botes carry twenty Trident missiles with greater range. Some Ohio Class vessels carry Tomahawk cruise missiles instead.

But what astounded me about the comparison is it was reported that China spends the equivalent of 750 million dollars per bote while our Ohio Class subs came out at 2 BILLION a copy.
