Taiwan's naval goodwill fleet, which departed the Marshall Islands last
month, was seen passing through the Panama Canal on Saturday as it heads to
another of the country's diplomatic allies in the region.

According to livestream footage from the Panama Canal Authority, the fleet --
consisting of the ROC Navy's fast combat support ship Panshi, Cheng
Kung-class guided-missile frigate Yueh Fei, and Kang Ding-class
guided-missile frigate Di Hua -- transited the canal, which connects the
Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean, around midnight Saturday (Taipei time).

The fleet, officially designated the 2026 Midshipmen and Cruising Training
Squadron (MCTS) of the Republic of China Navy and led by Rear Admiral Chen
Ming-feng (???), departed Taiwan in late February for its annual training
voyage.

For security reasons, Taiwan's military does not publicize the fleet's
scheduled stops.

However, according to the Chinese-language United Daily News, the fleet is
believed to be heading to Belize.
