The Chien Lung (Chinese: 劍龍) class of submarine, also known as the Hai Lung (Sea Dragon) class, was manufactured in the Netherlands for Taiwan and is currently in service with its navy. They are a modified version of the Dutch Navy's Zwaardvis class which itself is based on the US Barbel class. A new class of submarines being built by Taiwan's Indigenous Defense Submarine program, will eventually replace them.
