Teaser Filming Duration: 3 days

The main filming location for this production is the Navy Destroyer Museum in Anping District, Tainan City, accounting for 95% of the film’s scenes.

The full name of the vessel is " DDG-925 TeYang Guided Missile Destroyer." The name TeYang derives from the phrase "Virtue shines upon the world, and the sun illuminates the universe." Commissioned on October 1, 1977, it played a crucial role in safeguarding the Taiwan Strait, carrying out numerous covert operations and diplomatic missions. After being decommissioned on April 1, 2005, TeYang’s fate differed from its sister ships, which were sunk as artificial reefs. Thanks to efforts by the Tainan City Government and various organizations, the ship was preserved and relocated to Anping Port, Tainan, in 2009. Following extensive restoration work, including rust removal and repainting, the warship was officially opened to the public in 2010. In February 2015, the Anping Navy Destroyer Museum was formally inaugurated.
