The Taiwanese Navy has conducted an anti-submarine warfare drill aimed at boosting its combat readiness and ability to respond to submarine attacks launched by enemy naval forces.
The exercise saw participation from the navy's latest minehunters and a frigate from Tsoying naval base in Kaohsiung, southern Taiwan, reports Central News Agency.
In order to locate the submarine, the navy deployed a Grumman-built S-2T anti-submarine warfare aircraft equipped with dipping sonar systems to identify the location of the enemy vessel.
