ERICKSON Andrew S

China's future nuclear submarine force / edited by Andrew S Erickson and Lyle J Goldstein - Annapolis MD: US Naval Inst. Press, 2007 - 412p.

This edited volume is both more specific and simultaneously broader in its conception. It is more specific in that it focuses on a narrow and neglected sector of China's undersea force the relatively small proportion of China's submarines that use nuclear propulsion. The authors offer informed speculation about the possible roles of both nuclear attack and ballistic missile submarines in the rapidly modernizing people's liberation of army navy and discuss the implications of differing scenarios for U.S strategy and force structure.
