Taiwan navy offers reward for missing torpedo
TAIPEI — Taiwan's navy is offering a cash reward to any fisherman who finds a torpedo its sailors lost during a drill last week, the military said Tuesday.
The offer follows four days of intensive but futile searching in the area around the Tsoying base in southern Taiwan, the navy said in a statement.
Any fisherman who snares the German-built SUT torpedo will scoop 30,000 Taiwan (930 US) dollars.
It is the second time submariners aboard the Dutch-made Hai Lung, or "Sea Dragon" have lost a torpedo. In 2003 the missing weapon was washed ashore.
