隨著國造潛艦海鯤號持續測試與後續艦計畫推進,海軍未來將擁有10艘現代化潛艦,因此需建立對應的水下救援能量。
隨著國造潛艦「海鯤號」持續測試,加上後續7艘艦的建造計畫推進,海軍未來搭配現役的2艘性能提升的劍龍級潛艦,總共將擁有10艘現代化潛艦。為了守護這批龐大水下艦隊的安全,海軍同步啟動水下救援能量的建置。軍方將在2027年至2034年間,編列約138億元預算,優先籌建1艘專責的「潛艦救難艦」,讓台灣從無到有建立自主的深海自救能力。
雖然現階段只編列1艘專責救難艦的預算,但根據國防部最新送到立法院的報告指出,軍方強調是「先」籌獲1艘,引發軍方後續是否還會再籌建第2艘專責潛艦救難艦的討論。軍方人士普遍認為,這個「先」字其實為未來預留了很大的彈性。畢竟潛艦救難艦雖然真正要出動的機率不高,但一旦進廠進行年度歲修或大修,期間往往長達好幾個月無法出勤,如果只有1艘,這段時間就會出現救援空窗期,因此未來勢必得朝向擁有2艘專責艦的目標邁進。
從國際海軍的配置經驗來看,通常10艘到20艘潛艦的規模,就需要搭配1艘到2艘救難艦。像南韓海軍擁有約20艘潛艦,就配置了2艘專責救難艦輪流戰備。台灣周邊海域地形複雜,尤其是東部太平洋海域水深極深,未來10艘潛艦在東部與西南海域頻繁演訓時,若能有2艘專責救難艦,不僅可以一艘執勤、一艘輪休,更能分別兼顧東西部海域,確保水下官兵在第一時間就能獲得救援。
不過,考量到國防預算的整體分配以及造船廠的產能,海軍目前決定採取「先求有、再求好」的務實策略。首艘潛艦救難艦的船體設計較大,具備水下500公尺的深海救援與接駁能力,主要就是針對台灣東部深海區量身打造。國防部希望先透過這筆138億元的建案,順利完成首艘潛艦救難艦母艦與深海救難載具的系統整合,把水下救援的標準作業程序建立起來,後續再視預算與運作情況評估增建第2艘。
除了專責的潛艦救難艦之外,海軍在2027年至2034年這段期間,也同步規劃籌建2艘「大武級」救難艦後續艦,加上已經服役的首艘大武艦,未來將有3艘一般救難艦負責水面拖帶與100公尺內的淺水救援。透過1艘專責深海救難艦、搭配3艘大武級救難艦的「高低配」組合,再配合可拆裝的模組化救援裝備,海軍正一步步織起更嚴密的水下安全防護網。

The Fire Department of the Ministry of Interior held the 3rd International Rope Rescue Elite Competition at the Nantou Training Center, bringing together 18 domestic and 9 international teams, a total of 27 teams, for a three-day practical rescue competition. Firefighting Director Xiao Huanzhang expressed the hope that through competition exchanges and the establishment of the "World Alliance for Disaster Management (WADM)", my country's rescue capabilities will continue to be in line with the world, and the training center will be built into a rope rescue technology exchange platform in the Asia-Pacific region.

The Philippines is promoting the largest naval modernization plan in history and plans to spend 80 billion to 110 billion pesos to build two diesel-electric submarines, which are expected to be acquired in the early 2030s. Military experts analyze that Philippine submarines are deployed at the southern end of the Bashi Strait, forming a north-south pincer attack with Taiwanese submarines, blocking the passage of Communist submarines into and out of the Western Pacific through the Luzon Strait. Limited by diplomatic realities, Taiwan-Philippine cooperation may adopt a low-key mode, referring to the precedent of Taiwan’s secret training.

Japan's Ministry of Finance recommends that defense spending be controlled at 50 to 60 trillion yen for the five years starting in April 2027, which is lower than the 80 trillion yen advocated by some officials. This may lead to a reduction of procurement plans including F-35 fighter jets by as much as half, and defense contractors are warned that future orders may be significantly reduced.

A report by the Institute of War, a think tank in Washington, revealed that the People's Liberation Army has recently conducted unannounced "silent" military exercises involving more than 100 ships in the Western Pacific and around Taiwan. National security officials analyzed this as a silent intimidation against Taiwan's nine-in-one elections and the APEC leaders' summit, aiming to create an atmosphere of "military danger" to exert pressure while avoiding triggering a backlash in international and Taiwanese public opinion. In terms of combat force deployment, the exercise exceeded the scale of "Justice Mission-2025". It rarely coordinated the surface combat forces of the three major coastal theaters in the east, north, and south, simulated breaking through the first island chain and attacking forces in other areas of the island chain. In early November, it also tested a submarine-launched intercontinental ballistic missile, with a range covering Hawaii and Guam. The firing logic between China and Russia is highly consistent, showing that the two sides have demonstrated cross-theater strategic countermeasure capabilities to the U.S. and the alliance through collaboration.

With the advancement of testing of the domestically built Haikun submarine and the launch of the subsequent seven-ship construction plan, coupled with the completion of the performance improvement of the two Stegosaurus-class submarines, the Navy will have 10 modern submarines. The military pointed out that in the face of the Communist underwater force with more than 60 submarines of various types, Taiwan does not intend to compete for numbers. Instead, it adopts an asymmetric combat thinking, locking in "underwater silent hunting" and "throat channel blockade", and using its elite combat power to exert a small-to-large defense effect.

Taiwan's Ministry of National Defense announced that from 6 a.m. yesterday (12th) to 6 a.m. (13th), 30 Chinese military aircraft, 8 total warships, and 3 official ships were detected operating around the Taiwan Strait. Among them, 23 military aircraft crossed the central line of the strait. The Chinese military used mission aircraft, ships, and shore-based missiles to closely monitor the situation.
