SSN's can travel long distances fully submerged at high speeds and are thereby a tremendous danger to an opposing Overwater Fleet.

In confined waters a diesel or especially a fuel cell unit will be more stealthy but for PLAN trying to put pressure on a country thousands of miles away from their homeland a fleet of 8 SSN armed with torpedos and harpoon is a huge threat.
