The plan plans to spend tens of billions of dollars to build a total of 141 ships of various types, including 12 600-ton coastal patrol ships.
The Coast Guard pointed out in the evening that the "forward development plan" is still in the review stage of the "Executive Yuan" and will not be explained to the public until it is approved. However, part of the ship has already reached the end of its lifespan. In addition to affecting the performance of the mission, it may also cause safety concerns among colleagues. Therefore, considering the need for task conversion, we will first use the current ships of the Taiwan Navy as the basis to carry out partial cabin, structure and equipment Modified to comply with maritime patrol missions.
The "Coast Patrol Administration" also said that Taiwan is surrounded by sea, and neighboring areas have strengthened maritime patrol capabilities.
