The ''Taigei''-class submarines (''29SS'') is a new class of attack submarines after 2022, developed for the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force. It is the successor to the . The ''Taigei'' class is equipped with a large amount of lithium-ion batteries, as is the case with the eleventh and twelfth submarines of the ''Sōryū'' class ( and ), making it possible for the submersible to travel longer and at higher speeds under water than conventional diesel-electric submarines. Development The development of the ''Taigei'' class was conducted from a variety of researches aimed at developing new and improved submarine components to improve the capabilities of "next-generation submarines" that will operate in the 2020s and beyond. Early studies (2004) In 2004, an evaluation was made on researching next-generation submarine systems based on capability requirements: dive speed, stealth, etc. The research involved utilizing simulation technologies to optimize the most efficient design f ...
