China's Nuclear Submarine Surge: A Global Power Shift?

•Rear Admiral Mike Brooks reveals China's 'Type 041' (Zhou-class) and next-gen Type 095/096 submarines aim for dominance from the Pacific to the Indian Ocean.
•This expansion challenges US supremacy and poses a significant threat to India's 'Arihant' class fleet in the Indian Ocean.
•US counters with super-carriers like USS Gerald R. Ford, while India initiates 'Project 77' for indigenous SSNs amidst a regional arms race.
•Despite chokepoint challenges and current 'noise' issues, China's rapid production capacity could soon close the technological gap.
