Tung Hsiang-lung

Tung Hsiang-lung (; born 21 September 1952) is a Taiwanese computer scientist, military official, and retired admiral.

Education Tung graduated from the Republic of China Naval Academy in 1974. He then completed graduate studies in the United States, earning a Master of Science (M.S.) in computer science from the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island, and, in 1992, a Ph.D. in computer science from Northwestern University. His doctoral dissertation, completed under computer science professor Peter Scheuermann, was titled, "Deadlock detection and resolution in distributed database systems and multidatabase systems".

Career

He was the commander of the ROCN from 16 May 2011 to 31 July 2013. He was also the Minister of the Veterans Affairs Council (VAC) from 1 August 2013 to 20 May 2016.

Commenting on the vast number of retired ROC generals attending the 90th anniversary of Whampoa Military Academy, he said that there were a total of 3,000 retired ROC generals, and that the council had no authority to question the movement and schedule of every retired general since they are basically civilians after retiring from the ROC Armed Forces.
