Timeline

1931

Nelson Ku (6 June 1931 – 15 January 2007) was a Taiwanese politician, diplomat and naval officer.

Born Shanghai in 1931, Ku attended both the Republic of China Naval Academy and the United States Naval Academy, and entered the Republic of China Navy in 1954.

1954

He served in the Republic of China Navy from 1954 to 1997, retiring with the rank of admiral.

1993

He became close to Chen Shui-bian while serving as deputy defense minister between 1993 and 1994.

1994

As commander of the navy, a post he had assumed in 1994, Ku ended the Advanced Combat System, a program devised in the 1980s by Taiwan to develop a smaller version of the American-made Aegis Combat System.

During his tenure, Ku reached an agreement with the United States Navy that allowed the Republic of China Navy use of American rescue vessels, if needed.

1997

Ku became the Republic of China's representative to the Netherlands in 1997.

2000

Chen Shui-bian assumed the presidency in 2000, and due to the friendship between Chen and Ku, it was speculated that Ku would accept an appointment as minister of defense in the Chen administration, a post that went to Wu Shih-wen.

After three years as a diplomat, Ku was recalled and expected to retire.

2001

However, Ku was named to the People First Party proportional representation ballot in 2001.

For accepting the nomination, he was expelled from the Kuomintang.

2002

He was a member of the Legislative Yuan from 2002 until his death.

He was strongly opposed to a 2002 proposal to acquire Kidd-class destroyers from the United States, favoring the purchase of Aegis-enabled vessels instead.

Ku was critical of a separate plan to buy Standard SM-II missiles for over NT$40 million each.

2003

In 2003, Ku published a book about his naval career and joined the Friends of the PFP.

The next year, two members of the United States House of Representatives proposed that Taiwan send the Republic of China Marine Corps to engage in the Iraq War, a move Ku believed to be unnecessary.

He was involved in another discussion about the cost of arms procurement in October, over a set of special appropriations that cost NT$610.8 billion.

2004

Ku was again named a PFP at-large legislative candidate for the 2004 elections, and won.

2005

In 2005, he voted against an arms procurement bill that sought to fund a $480 billion purchase of eight diesel submarines along with missile batteries and military aircraft, berating the government for its dependence on the United States.

2007

Ku was hospitalized in November 2006, and died of lymphatic cancer at Tri-Service General Hospital on 15 January 2007, aged 75.
