That pulls it together. VF-21 had a feline of some sort painted on their tails, so my cross-eyed squintology is working.

For years Taiwan has been looking for an enhanced submarine capability, but political considerations have always gotten in the way. They decided years ago to go it alone and embarked on the construction of an indigenously designed and built class of 8 submarines -- with technical assistance from retired Japanese industry experts.)
The current force is two ex-USN World War II-built boats that belong in museums and two 1980s-built Dutch Zwaardis class boats. The new submarines are derived from the Zwaardis design but with upgrades, including lithium-ion batteries. The first of the class, Hai Kun (SSN-711), is in sea trials.

As the Navy is struggling to build 35 Medium landing ships of 4,000 tons and 15 knots, a look back at WW2.
LST-1 was the lead ship of 1,052 LST’s (one thousand and fifty-two).
Length: 328 ft, Beam: 50 ft, Displacement: 4,080 tons
Troop capacity: 16 officers, 147 Marines
2 General Motors diesels of only 900 HP each gave 11.8 knots.
