On June 18, 2024, fishermen in Penghu were shocked to see a Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) Type 096 'Tang-class' nuclear submarine surface in the waters near the median line of the Taiwan Strait, followed by another PLA warship for support, sailing towards mainland China. Minister of National Defense Gu Lihsiong confirmed the incident but did not disclose detailed surveillance methods. Speculations suggest the malfunctioning submarine, possibly a Type 096 'Tang-class' nuclear submarine, capable of carrying at least 14 submarine-launched ballistic missiles, surfaced due to mechanical issues. The incident raised concerns about the Taiwan Strait situation.
