North of the crew quarters are two doorways that lead to a single stairway down into a room with a workshop containing a weapons workbench.

There is also a small science lab with a chemistry station. North of the reactor room on the upper level is a small room that contains two decontamination showers and an Expert terminal-locked door with a stairway to the lower level. Down the stairs is the reactor control room, with a small radio room on the left side ahead. Upon entering the ship, the first room the Sole Survivor comes to is the bridge, where Zao is located. The Yangtze has three large propellers, one on each side and a third under the reactor control room, as well as a smaller propeller at the rear of the submarine with the rudder. Unlike the only other Chinese submarine the player character can personally encounter in the series, SSN-37-1A, the Yangtze is in fact a full-scale combat vessel with extensive crew amenities and visible missile and torpedo tubes. The damage caused a reactor leak that immobilized the sub and ultimately killed or ghoulified the crew of approximately two dozen men, of which only Zao retained his sanity. Shortly after firing its strategic missiles, the Yangtze-31 struck a mine that severely damaged her reactor and forced her to seek shelter in Boston Harbor. All but one of the missiles were successfully launched. When the Great War began, the Yangtze's captain obeyed his orders to fire the submarine's strategic nuclear weapons at their targets. Shortly before the Great War, the Yangtze was on deployment with a payload of six warheads, and an unknown number of tactical nuclear missiles and torpedoes. It is a nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine commanded by Captain Zao. Yangtze-31 (Chinese: 揚子-三十一) is a Yangtze-class stealth submarine (referred to as Liao-class Type 113 in the game guide) of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy.
