htmlOn June 25, the Taiwan Coast Guard Administration received the second Anping-class patrol ship, the hull number CG-602. The ship was originally scheduled to be completed by the end of October, but it was completed four months ahead of schedule. The handover ceremony of

was held at the shipyard of CITIC Shipbuilding Company (JSSC) located in Kaohsiung City. Minister of the Marine Affairs Committee (OCA) Li Zhongwei, Chairman of CITIC Shipbuilding Company Han Bixiang, and Commander of the Chenggong Unit Liu Kangyi attended the ceremony. Due to the epidemic, the ceremony was reduced and the media was not invited. According to the plan, the Success will be assigned to the East End fleet. The design of the Anping class is based on the Tuojiang-class missile frigate-shaped ship Tajiang, and the first ship was launched in December last year. The Tajiang ship is 65 meters long and 14.8 meters wide. The full load displacement has increased to 685 tons, the maximum speed is 38 knots, and the endurance is greater than 2,000 nautical miles. The main weapons include: 2 4-mounted "Xiong-II" anti-ship missiles, 2 2-mounted "Xiong-II" anti-ship missiles, and 2 8-mounted "Haijian-II" air defense missiles. The number of missiles and is no less than that of a large and medium-sized ship.

As a simplified version, the ship of Chenggong is 65.4 meters long and 14.8 meters wide. The main scale and appearance are exactly the same as that of the Tajiang level. The maximum speed is greater than 44 knots and can withstand strong winds of level 9. What's even more amazing is that the Anping-class patrol ship has the characteristics of peace and war conversion, and space and system pipelines are reserved on the ship, which can be used for the "Xiongfeng-2" and "Xiongfeng-3" anti-ship missile systems.

According to the plan, the Successful Daily does not load missiles during normal operation, but in case of war, the missile module can be quickly replaced and sent personnel to the ship to perform missile combat readiness missions. It can carry up to 16 anti-ship missiles . However, this ability is just a gimmick. There is no time to modify it during wartime, and the most troublesome thing is the existing weapons.

Anping class patrol ship is equipped with a Zhenhai rocket weapon system and a double-barrel 20mm remote-controlled machine gun. The Zhenhai rocket weapon system is equipped with 6 70mm rocket launch nests, each rocket launch nest has 7 launch tubes, and its effective range is 500 meters. This weapon plus a double-barrel 20mm remote-controlled machine gun originated from the "Beach Shore Defense Rocket System" used by the Marine Corps. It is a special surface killing weapon, and its function is similar to the combination of short-range rocket launcher + heavy machine flat-fire.

Why do such low-precision equipment come on the ship? Obviously not suitable for hitting fast maneuvering targets. The rocket that is equipped with Zhenhai system is derived from aviation rockets, and can be selected as high-explosive bomb , steel ball bullets and armor-piercing bomb , etc. It is not difficult to see that the system can kill ships and landed unprotected infantry. The main advantage is that the killing area is large, the accuracy is not the first priority, isn't it very bad?

If the plan is completed on schedule, the other side will have 12 Anping-class patrol ships - 12 fire support boats in wartime. Compared with anti-ship missiles that can be intercepted, this uncontrolled rocket or high-fire machine gun is more difficult to deal with. If used in combination with Thunder long-range rocket launcher, it will be a huge threat to landing forces.
