Nuke submarine to go on display

Chinese military enthusiasts can see tanks, artillery guns and fighter jets in military museums around the nation, but what is coming is probably beyond their expectations-a nuclear-powered attack submarine.

According to an announcement by the North Sea Fleet of the People's Liberation Army Navy, China's first nuclear-powered submarine was towed to a port of the Chinese Navy Museum in Qingdao, a coastal city in Shandong province, in mid-October.

"This boat, which sailed oceans for more than 40 years, will soon be presented as an exhibit to you at the museum," the announcement said. "Before arriving at the museum, the submarine's nuclear parts have been removed, in accordance with international standards, so the boat is completely safe."
