Taiwan to Halt Submarine Fleet for Chinese Navy in War

Taiwan is Building Submarines – As an island nation, Taiwan can’t be easily invaded – at least in theory.

The island, which is roughly the size of the state of Maryland, has a rugged interior of mountains and jungles. Even before any invasion force faced such obstacles, it would need to cross the 100-mile-wide Taiwan Straits. Since the Chinese Nationalist forces retreated to the island in 1949, an invasion from the mainland has been expected and almost constantly anticipated.

As a result, the island is well defended with fixed positions, while Taipei has built a sizeable force of anti-ship missiles. However, the greatest threat that an invader – most likely the People’s Republic of China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) – might face is from under the sea.
