Currently Taiwan is not capable of manufacturing a sub, mainly because it cannot yet build a hull resistant to undersea pressures. Thus everything depends on foreign purchases. However, because submarines are such powerful weapons, source nations worry that sales could increase the likelihood of conflict.
目前我尚未有潛艦製造能力，主要在潛艦壓力殼的製造技術尚未突破，因此一切仰賴外購，由於潛艦在海戰的威力極大，出售潛艦也常被認為會升高海上衝突機會，因此各國在處理潛艦軍售時，都非常小心。
