The Sōryūs have the largest displacement (ship) of any submarine used by post-war Japan. It is Japan's first air-independent propulsion submarine. The boats in the class are fitted with Kockums Naval Solutions Stirling engines license-built by Kawasaki Heavy Industries, allowing them to stay submerged for longer periods of time. Some recent information suggests that the last units in the series will have their air independent propulsion systems replaced with banks of Li-Ion batteries. The cost of the sixth submarine (Kokuryū) was estimated at 540 million USD. The eleventh Soryu-class submarine, with improved underwater endurance by mounting lithium-ion batteries, was given a budget of ¥64.3 billion/US$536.7 million under the 2015 Japanese Defense Budget.
