Japan’s Soryu-class submarines are at the forefront of conventional submarine technology. These diesel-electric vessels use air-independent propulsion systems, allowing them to remain submerged for extended periods. Their distinctive X-shaped stern enhances maneuverability, while advanced acoustic tiles and a specially designed snorkel reduce detectability. The Soryu-class is armed with Type 89 torpedoes and Harpoon missiles, making it a formidable threat to adversaries.
