Taiwan (Republic of China): Prototype in sea trials; not an in-service capability

戰場角色

Intended for sea denial in the waters and approaches around Taiwan.

優勢

Submarines are among the hardest platforms to find and neutralise, and building them domestically after decades of being unable to buy them is a substantial industrial achievement with real deterrent signalling value.

限制

The programme is slow, expensive and unproven: the prototype has been conducting sea trials rather than entering service, and schedules have moved repeatedly. Critics within the asymmetric-defence school argue the cost would buy far more denial capability in missiles, mines and small craft. Vigil records the trials as reported milestones and makes no claim about capability, timeline or fleet size.

與戰役的關聯

推導所得：這些戰役中的一個參與組織，與此系統有一筆具類型的裝備關聯。這並不等同於有文件記錄該系統在戰役本身中的使用。

外觀識別

A conventional diesel-electric submarine with an X-form stern rudder arrangement — four angled control surfaces rather than the cruciform layout of the older boats Taiwan operates — and a slender sail set well forward. The X-stern is the distinguishing feature and is visible only out of the water.

有文件記錄的衝突使用

Launched in September 2023 and engaged in harbour and sea trials since, with delivery repeatedly rescheduled; the boat has not entered operational service. It left on its 21st sea trial, the 15th with submerged testing, on 21 September 2026, having missed the November 2025 delivery deadline its builder attributed to testing delays. Follow-on hulls are funded in Taiwan's special defence budgets and are the subject of continuing legislative argument. Vigil records trials and budget decisions as reported milestones and makes no claim about capability, timeline or eventual fleet size — this is the record in the Taiwanese catalogue where the gap between programme announcement and delivered capability is widest, and the confidence grade says so.
