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