Open sources describe the 039B as a revised Yuan boat with sail, hull, flank-sonar, and acoustic refinements, while U.S. defense reporting groups delivered Yuan-class AIP attack submarines under the broader Type 039A/B designation.

Naval News, Covert Shores, NTI, and GlobalSecurity describe it as an operational PLAN development of the Type 039A/B line, while public sources still leave the official designation, total production count, and exact weapon fit partly unconfirmed.

U.S. defense reporting counts the class among China's ASCM-capable conventional submarines, while specialist sources caution that older Type 041 naming and later Type 039C labels are open-source conventions rather than clean public PLAN designations.

Open U.S. reporting separates the line into Shang I, Shang II, and Shang III variants, with the Type 093B described by DoD and USCC testimony as a guided-missile SSGN development while a CMSI technical study cautions that public imagery does not settle the separate-VLS question.

Public references describe a wave-piercing, radar-signature-reduced hull carrying eight YJ-83 anti-ship missiles, a 30 mm H/PJ-13 or AK-630-derived gun, waterjet propulsion, and enough sensors for local engagements while relying on wider PLAN targeting networks for longer-range missile employment.

The class pairs Type 346-series phased-array radar with a 64-cell vertical launch system, and later Type 052DL ships stretch the stern aviation area for a larger helicopter while production continues from Jiangnan and Dalian yards.
