The Julang-1 (, also known as the JL-1; NATO reporting name CSS-N-3) was China's first generation nuclear submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM). The JL-1 and its warheads are believed to be retired and dismantled.
==History== On 26 March 1967, the National Defense Science and Technology Commission began working on the SLBM JL-1 (Julang, "Great Wave"). The Ninth Academy simultaneously conceptualized a smaller thermonuclear warhead for the missile. In 1970, the Ninth Academy completed a theoretical design for the thermonuclear warhead.
