Note:
(a) There is no Chinese version of the report.
(b) "China Central Television showed a satellite picture earlier this week of three submarines anchored at an unidentified port, saying the vessels are China's most advanced Type-093G nuclear-powered attack submarines, just completed by a Chinese shipyard and a waiting delivery. With a teardrop hull, the submarine is longer than its predecessor, the Type-093, and has a vertical launching system, the report said.---------------------

(c) “Another article carried by the People's Liberation Army navy's website said the Type-093G's wing-shaped cross-section is designed to improve speed and mobility as well as reduce noise.“
I fail to find the report in PLAN website: navy.81.cn (or elsewhere in the Web).
(d) Take notice this is nuclear-powered ATTACK submarine, not ballistic missile submarine featured in the previous posting.
