From the photos I've seen of the concept scale models, her hullform appears similar to the Delta-class, but with one screw instead of two. However, given she is around a decade newer than any other SSBN currently in service, I'd expect her to be at least as advanced, but likely more so. She's definately smaller than to Ohio class (~19,000 tons submerged, with 12-16 missiles, vs. 24,000 tons submerged with 24 missiles), but comprable or larger in size to any other country's SSBNs, and again, probably more advanced.
