The USS Cutlass (SS-478) was commissioned in the US Navy just prior to the end of WWII on 3/17/1945, and embarked on its first war patrol in the Pacific on 7/17/1945...It went on to serve in all the world's oceans for 28 years when it was overhauled, decommissioned, and transferred to the Navy of the Republic of China where it still serves as part of Taiwan's seagoing military...At the moment it is receiving another overhaul and refitting, including a refresh for its four 75 year old Fairbanks-Morse 10 cylinder diesel engines...After this $19 million overhaul its officers and crew will rejoin the Taiwanese fleet on patrol in the now contested South China Sea...It's still entirely possible that its torpedo tubes could be opened in anger against a Chicom target...
As usual, I can't hear the audio in the following YouTube video, so if it's in Chinese, don't blame me......Ben
