On May 7th, the CSBC Corporation released the video of the first Indigenous Defense Submarine (IDS) for the Taiwanese Navy, Hai Kun (SS-711) conducting her crucial weapon system verification test. The test itself was conducted on May 6th which involved the submarine launching two Mk48 Mod 6 Advanced Technology (AT) Heavy Weight Torpedoes from two of her six 533mm torpedo tubes and testing whether the combat system can detect and track the intended target(s) as well as generating a firing solution for the torpedoes and guide them towards the target(s). In the underwater camera shot released by CSBC Corporation during the launch, the wire of the Mk48 Mod 6AT is clearly visible after leaving the torpedo tube. The two torpedoes were a training variant.
