Taiwan island’s first ‘indigenous’ submarine revealed to have sea trial without anchor; repeated problems expose boat’s vulnerability

Global Times – The island of Taiwan’s “indigenous” submarine Hai Kun, which the armed forces on the island had confidently claimed would be delivered in November, has not only failed to complete basic underwater navigation tests but has recently been reported to have problems such as “uninstalled anchors” and “unintegrated watertight door systems.” This has drawn sharp criticism within the island for “endangering crew members’ lives.”
