Looks like its bad news for our Dolphins in KD Tunku Abdul Rahman who may have been looking forward to fasting and celebrating Eid Fitri at home. Jane's has reported in their webpage that the return of the Royal Malaysian Navy's (RMN's) first submarine, KD Tunku Abdul Rahman , to Malaysia has been postponed. The RMN CNO Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Jaafar told Jane's on 23 June that KD Tunku Abdul Rahman would now depart from France in August and arrive the following month in September, hopefully before Eid Fitri. Initial reports had stated that the submarine was due to arrive on 25th of the month but with the delay this will give the Works Ministry more time to better finish the submarine base in Teluk Sepanggar Naval Base that was only recently reported to be only 97 percent ready. This makes sense of the Works Minister statement that the naval base will only be handed over the RMN by the end of August. Never mind men, even if you all arrive after the Eid the celebrations will still continue. Eid celebrations is one month long anyway.

The main reason is Teluk Sepanggar Naval Base is still under construction, temporary docking kat mana2 local naval base tak boleh ke?
boleh..tapi ada gak sebab2 lain. Mengikut Jane's termasuk nak selaraskan dengan lawatan VVIP Peranchis ke malaysia, bukan faktor penempatan aja.
what is the cause of delayed???
according to Jane's :
"RMN Chief Admiral Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Jaafar told Jane's on 23 June that the submarine would now sail in August with an arrival date in September. He said the delay would allow the crew to undertake additional training in preparation for the voyage home and time the boat's arrival to coincide with a state visit to Malaysia by the French president or prime minister. "
the sub will pass through a Suez Canal. with luck, we may detect the Israel Dolphin class sub. plus why don't we try to sneak up on the US carrier in persian gulf and carry out simulated torpedo attack.
