This looks like a standard utility / attack sub, but I wonder if it could be used as a blockade runner / merchant sub if China tried to blockade Taiwan. It wouldn't do much good for shipping bulk goods like food in, but you wouldn't need much cargo capacity to ship out high value, small size things like the chips made by TSMC.
