Recently, a South Korean tiger-head sea eagle patrol boat suffered a grenade during training, causing multiple injuries. Although the matter is not big or small, it can only be considered a training accident. However, under the malicious hype that "Naval ship suffered accidents and suffered casualties in Huanghai ", this matter was also known to the whole world...
compared with the "glorious appearance" of South Korea's previous "cosmic power" and the "glorious appearance" of many naval battleships, the actual situation is facing Korean Navy It is the reality of war in two dimensions: facing the huge pressure of the rapid development of the surrounding powerful navy and the sneaky dogs of the small neighbors fighting asymmetrically. For this reason, in addition to the large surface ships and conventional submarines, South Korea maintains uninterrupted updates to benchmark the world's forefront at any time, since the 1970s, South Korea has built light guards of multiple levels including "Ulsan", "East Sea" and "Pohang" for daily patrols, and there are also a large number of "Tiger-headed Sea Eagle" gunboats used to fight anus with neighbors on the front line...
Figure: In the first Yanping Naval Battle, the "Tiger-headed Sea Eagle" collided directly with the 62 gunboat next door, but it was tacit to understand that it did not use automatic guns to wash the deck.
Tigerhead Sea Eagle, a gunboat with more than 100 tons, is designed to be similar to the 62 gunboats produced in my country. It has a heavy artillery in small boats and is relatively high-speed. Although the structure is simple, it is better because it is cheap and large in quantity. Although it is basically not at a disadvantage when dealing with the 62 speedboats in the north, it is basically not at a disadvantage when facing its "tank boat", "torpedo boat" and even 037 "Huangshui Battleship ", the "Tiger Head Sea Eagle" did not have such confidence... In the Second Yanping Navy's Battlegrounds in 2002, the South Korean Navy's Tigerhead Sea Eagle 357 was knocked off the bridge by the tank boat in close combat, and finally sank.

Figure: In the Second Yanping Naval Battle, the "Tiger-headed sea eagle" 357 boat was destroyed by a tank shell on the boat and then sank.
After this, the Koreans started the research and development of the "Yin Yongxia" class speedboat. The original plan was to build a special construction, but because the deployment of missiles on the cabin was not practical, the cost was too high, and the superstructure was heavy, it has not entered the front line for service. The project was delayed, and only 18 small items worth more than 400 tons were built in more than ten years...
Figure: The first six Yin Yongxia class ships were named after the Korean soldiers who died in the second Yanping Navy's Navy, but the flashy design seemed to be destined to make it difficult for the dead officers and soldiers to rest in peace. The unreliable new ship, the unreliable retirement of the old ship, and the increasing penetration pressure of the neighbors next door, has caused the pressure of daily patrols of the South Korean Navy to continue to increase, and these "tiger-headed sea eagles" with more than 100 tons have been on the front line. South Korea adopts a conscription system, that is, young people must serve when they reach age. Although this method can guarantee the amount of national defense soldiers, the quality of sailors cannot be guaranteed. It is precisely this reality that there is still a need for counter-boarding war in the 21st century that naval pitching grenades, a combat form that is a "spiritual existence" even in the eyes of our army, still has practical significance in the South Korean Navy. It is inevitable to walk by the river and accidentally wet the shoes. In the context of training accidents, it reflects the long-term debt caused by structural aging. While concentrating military expenditure on landing ships, destroyers, and submarines, front-line troops have not received attention for a long time. If this situation cannot be changed, the occurrence of such low-level accidents will only be inevitable.
In recent years, the South Korean Navy has started construction of the "Tiger Head Sea Eagle-B" speedboat, equipped with 76 guns and a 12-connection 130mm guided rocket. It has a strong ability to cover the face at close range and has a clear combat purpose. However, depending on the current project progress, it is probably still unknown whether the planned "one-to-one replacement of the Tiger Head Sea Eagle" can be achieved.
