Taiwan Shipbuilding emphasizes that the contractually agreed delivery date for the 'Sea Giant' submarine is November 3, 2025, and they will adhere to the contract. The progress of the first domestically manufactured submarine, named Sea Giant and designated as 711, has raised discussions as it has not entered the sea trial phase after completing the HAT berthing test for a long time. The delay is attributed to the late delivery of the optical-electronic periscope mast ordered from overseas manufacturers by Taiwan Shipbuilding. However, Taiwan Shipbuilding did not comment on this. The company also released a statement mentioning its adherence to national policies and interests in subsequent submarine projects, aiming to prevent arms dealers from profiteering and meddling to exploit taxpayers' money.
