Tian looked over the row of submarines in Taichung dock. Being the first of a new generation of Chinese submarines - nuclear power, low crew, ultra-quiet, brilliant payload, it was the climax of a submarine programme first started under the ROCN, now under the ECN (and hence, his) command.

The payload of the new generation low-observability cruise missile and the ability to launch UAVs from VLS cells was a big feature on these babes. With a payload of up to 154 cruise missiles or UAVs, this was the force projection first envisioned by his superior Zhang while in the ROCAF during the mid-90s. The arsenal ship programme which he had invested thousands of hours into had come from the same denial doctrine as these submarines.

Tian had to think of a name, but his Hong Kong upbringing meant he knew more about British history than Chinese history. Perhaps he would consult a few Chinese historians he knew.

Following the ceremonies, and under great secrecy, the yet-unnamed submarines were loaded with their deadly payloads. The need for this submarine was great - it was being rushed into service.

Tian saluted the crew as they headed out to sea.

Lt. Cmdr. Choi saluted the new commander of the ECN before disembarking on this great journey with a crew that are much fewer than the number he usually command.
