State of Submarine Forces in ASEAN 2023

Shawn Chung has kindly written 8 articles for publishing on Submarine Matters over the next 2 weeks. This is the first generalised article and the next 7 articles deal with the 7 ASEAN countries that have, or will have, submarines. Most links are in string form but when embedded in text they are bolded. So Shawn writes:


Several news articles (below) sparked my interest in crafting a brief update on the State of Submarine Forces in ASEAN 2023. This is because 6 of the 10 ASEAN members (Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam and Myanmar) are/will be submarine operators in 2023, with the Philippines potentially joining the submarine club in future.

 

The news articles are:

Arranged in chronological order of submarine service. I will not go into the specifics of each submarine class, rather the main emphasis is on deals, recent history, some political and market issues. I have used OSINT for references.
