Early in the morning on June 18, 2024, a suspected People's Liberation Army Navy submarine, believed to be a Type 094A nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine, was spotted floating in the Taiwan Strait by Taiwanese fishermen and escorted towards the mainland by another warship. This rare sight captured by fishermen in the Penghu Islands shows a submarine with ballast tanks and a large structure at the stern, indicating it is likely equipped with ballistic missiles. Speculated to be a Type 094 or 094A submarine, its appearance suggests enhanced stealth capabilities. The unusual surfacing may be due to a minor incident or encountering obstacles at sea. The depth of the Taiwan Strait could force submarines to surface unexpectedly. Further analysis by the military is required to determine the exact reasons for the sub's surface appearance.
