It would not be easy to stay unseen austal and undetected while barely submerged and trying to collect intelligence, and the consequences of detection could be grave for the submarine's crew and for Australia-China relations.

By now Shalders knew he was facing possible disaster. It was only a matter of time before the Peoples' Liberation Navy became aware something was seriously amiss and investigated what was going on in the shallow austal water. Shalders and his crew faced the real prospect of detection, surrender, capture, imprisonment, trial and possible execution as spies. Relations between Australia and China would be in tatters. Shalders decided he had no choice but to abandon the operation. µ Shalders ſ ѡ һ ʱ й ʶ ijЩ صIJ ? dzˮ ʲô 顣Shalders Ĵ Ա ǰ Ͷ к е Ը һ 顣 Ĵ Ǻ й Ĺ ϵҲ ѡ Shalders ѡ Ӧ 飩 Summoning all his skills, he took the submarine out of the harbour and into the relative safety of the East China Sea.
