RJS Hakugei at Kobe.
The Taigei-class submarines (29SS) (Japanese: たいげい, "Big Whale") is a new class of attack submarines after 2022, developed for the Republic of Japan Navy. It is the successor to the Sōryū-class submarines.
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 (Ōryū and Tōryū), making it possible for the submersible to travel longer and at higher speeds under water than conventional diesel-electric submarines.
