Despite being the first American jet bomber to fly, it suffered stability issues and the design did not enter production.

Sang-o class North Korean submarine in 1996
Taiwan Asked for Partners to Help It Develop Its Own Submarines. North Korea Applied
https://www.checkpointasia.net/taiwan-asked-for-partners-to-help-it-develop-its-own-submarines-north-korea-applied/

Quote:
The products on the list included North Korea’s miniature Yono-class submarine, Yugo-class submarine, Sang-O-class submarine, as well as the North Korean self-made AIP (Air-Independent Propulsion) system.

The system is believed to enable the submarine to remain submerged for up to four weeks to better extend its underwater endurance, compared to an underwater endurance of only a few days in traditional diesel-electric submarines..........................

Pressure by the People’s Republic of China on would-be exporters has prevented Taiwan from buying full submarines abroad, so Taiwan has started its own indigenous submarine program.
