Around 5 AM on June 18th, a Taiwanese fisherman from Penghu spotted and recorded a large China’s People’s Liberation Army submarine surfacing near the Taiwan Strait median line. The submarine was later accompanied by PLA surface ships as it left.
According to the fisherman’s records, the submarine surfaced at coordinates 24°00’N, 118°22’E, which is west of the median line of the Taiwan Strait, near the Chinese coast, in waters approximately 45 meters deep.
Once the pictures were uploaded online, military enthusiasts and experts analyzed the visible parts of the submarine and suggested it was likely a Type 094 nuclear-powered submarine from the PLA.
The appearance of a Chinese nuclear submarine in international waters of the Taiwan Strait has sparked significant discussion and speculation.
