Phan Boi Tran, the inventor of Yet Kieu submarine, who is well known in Vietnam as the descendant of Phan Boi Chau, a strong-willed patrio
tic scholar, has confirmed that he has signed a contract to export four Yet Kieu submarines to Malaysia.
The first version of Yet Kieu, the one-manned sub, was launched by Tran some years ago, which drew special attention from the public because it was the first sub made by Vietnamese.

Tran said the subs to Malaysia are next-generation subs with some improvements in comparison with the first-generation ones.
With the first-generation model, a person had to enter the sub from its belly, while now the entry is from the cover. The sub has also been re-designed to have a larger cabin, enough for two people.
Changes have been made to the glass door and periscope as well, while the diving and under-water operation capability have been improved considerably. The subs are painted yellow.
Tran said he and his associates are making a mother ship which can contain four mini subs. The mother ship can carry four mini subs from harbors to tourist points, where they serve tourists’ excursions.
When the excursion tours end, the mini subs are tugged to certain positions, from which they would be placed into the mother ship, Tran explained.
Tran declined to give the images of the Yet Kieu submarines, saying that he is following necessary procedures to make registration for intellectual property rights for the combination of mother ship and mini subs.
Before signing the contract with the Malaysian travel firm, Tran tried to introduce Yet Kieu subs to Vietnamese travel firms, saying that the subs could be good products for marine tours.
