New naval base near Kuching to be submarine transit point, navy chief says


KUCHING: The Royal Malaysian Navy base to be built in Muara Tebas as the Region 4 Naval Headquarters (Mawilla 4) will serve as a strategic transit point for submarines, says Navy Chief Admiral Datuk Zulhelmy Ithnain.

He said this is due to the site's favourable maritime conditions, with naturally deep waters reaching 14 metres, making it a suitable and strategic location.
