My comment:
(a) This is the first time I learn that Taiwan has Standard Missile-2 (SM-2).
(b) "台媒引述他 [国民党立委林郁方] 说，因标准二型导弹的射程长，美国过去并不同台湾试射，他每次到美国都会借机向美方高层说项。"
I believe "意" is missing, after "同."
(c) Quotation 1 is ambiguous. I thought it said the SM-2 came with the purchase of Kidd-class destroyers from US. Instead, it means the Missile test is conducted from a Kidd-class destroyer, after I double check with other Taiwanese news reports.
(d) RIM-67 Standard http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RIM-67_Standard
(an extended range surface-to-air missile (SAM) and anti ship missile originally developed for the United States Navy; section 4 Surface to air variants)
In American media on US own tests, usually Pentagon identifies which model (or "Block") SM-2 is. However Taiwan does not identify it this time, conceivably due to sensitivity to China's feelings. HOWEVER, Raytheon's news release implies the SM-2 in this test must be one of the two models. See

(e) Standard Missile-2. Raytheon, undated. http://www.raytheon.com/capabilities/products/sm-2/
("world’s premier fleet-area air defense weapon * * * also has a secondary anti-surface ship mission * * * The most advanced variant, the SM-2 Block IV * * * The SM-2 family continues to grow internationally: Australia, Canada, Germany, Japan, Korea, the Netherlands, Spain and Taiwan have deployed surface combatants; Australia’s Air Warfare Destroyer will employ SM-2")

Note:
(a) In Taiwan (I can not speak for China), 子母彈 and 集束炸彈 tend to be interchangeable, meaning "cluster munition/bomb."
(b) "林郁方表示，萬劍彈耗資近卅億元研發完成，外觀與美國的AGM-154「聯合遙攻武器系統」（ＪＳＯＷ）類似"
AGM-154 Joint Standoff Weapon http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSOW

("俄罗斯媒体说，对于中国等国希望成为北极理事会观察员，俄罗斯并不热情。商人日报曾透露，俄罗斯不希望中国，以及其他同北极没有领土关联的国家加入北极利益的争夺。因此在俄罗斯的活动下，中国等国所获得的观察员地位不会对北极理事会的决定有任何影响")

("In a Pacific coast shipyard [at Vladivostok] a Russian Oscar class nuclear submarine recently caught fire while undergoing refurbishment. Navy officials said the September 16th blaze was put out the same day and that the reactors had been shut down and weapons removed before the shipyard work began. There was no radiation leak or damage to the sub’s reactor. The fire was started when a power saw ignited some rubber insulation and spread to other flammable material. The fire took five hours to put out and killed 14 people, * * * This is the fourth submarine fire since 2006")
