TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Taiwan's domestically built Hai Kun submarine is scheduled to leave dry dock and move to floating platforms in order to load torpedoes on Monday (July 15).

The submarine has been in the CSBC Corporation dry dock for nearly five months, per Liberty Times. It will be towed briefly by a tugboat before moving under its own power.

Nets and naval personnel will be deployed to prevent underwater espionage. Workers equipped with unmanned aerial vehicle jammers will patrol the area.

The floating platform at Pier 91 is hundreds of meters long. Its use will prevent potential collisions.

Unlike its previous transfer from the Hai Chang plant to the CSBC dry dock, Hai Kun will navigate through restricted areas within Kaohsiung Harbor. This means enthusiasts will likely be unable to photograph the submarine using long-range lenses.
