For years Taiwan has been looking for an enhanced submarine capability, but political considerations have always gotten in the way. They decided years ago to go it alone and embarked on the construction of an indigenously designed and built class of 8 submarines -- with technical assistance from retired Japanese industry experts.)

The current force is two ex-USN World War II-built boats that belong in museums and two 1980s-built Dutch Zwaardis class boats. The new submarines are derived from the Zwaardis design but with upgrades, including lithium-ion batteries. The first of the class, Hai Kun (SSN-711), is in sea trials.
