In recent years, Western countries led by the United States have taken the Taiwan Strait issue as a breakthrough point to make a big fuss on this issue, in order to provoke our country and achieve the goal of splitting our country and preventing our country from developing. On the one hand, these countries have increased arms sales to Taiwan and sold a large number of advanced weapons to the Taiwan authorities. On the other hand, they have sent their own instructors to conduct "military training" on the Taiwan military, and at the same time they have also shouted the words "defending Taiwan".

The Taiwan authorities, inspired by these people, also increased their confidence and wanted to "go out independently", but due to their weak military strength, they have never been able to achieve this. After receiving the "help" from Western countries, they also expanded and decided to develop their own military power to arm themselves. The first step is to develop their own navy, intending to build their own 4,500-ton frigate , but Due to its own technology, it takes a lot of time to build such a frigate, but by "2027, the huge threat Taiwan will face", which is the "2027 threat node" that Western countries have always advocated. Therefore, the plan to delay the construction of a 4,500-ton large frigate is currently planned to delay the construction of a 4,500-ton large frigate, first to build 8 1,400-ton light frigate, carrying a large number of anti-ship missiles , thereby quickly enhancing its combat effectiveness.

According to the news, not long ago, media in Taiwan published a report claiming that the "Taiwan Security Committee" will temporarily shelve the construction plan of its 4,500-ton frigate and first build a batch of 2,000-2,500-ton light patrol ships to replace it. Mei Fuxing, director of the Taiwan Strait Security Research Center, said that this is to deal with the "2027 threat node". The Taiwan Navy neither admitted nor denied this view, but said that it would evaluate the plan. Before this, the Taiwan Navy's "Chief of Staff" Jiang Zhengguo also said on the 3rd that the construction plan of the frigate code-named "Sea Project" may be postponed in the future, and its structural design may also change.

At present, this proposal has been approved and will prioritize the implementation of the construction plan for light frigates. The current first light frigate will begin construction in 2023 to deal with the upcoming "2027 Threat Node". Due to the influence of tonnage, this light frigate can carry limited weapons, so its lethality cannot be compared with that of large frigates. Its main task is to escort, anti-blockade, and provide short-range air defense cover and command and control for the "Tuojiang" and "Tajiang" patrol ships. This frigate also has certain cruise capabilities and can cruise in the surrounding areas of the Taiwan Strait and even the Nansha area of ​​ Nansha . In the plan of the Taiwan authorities, this frigate will have two styles, namely air defense type and Anti-submarine type, with four ships built in each style.

However, if this frigate is to start construction in 2023, many people still question this, because it is theoretically almost impossible to complete the bidding, design and modification of this warship within two years from now. However, Mei Fuxing said that the design of this new frigate is mature. In 2018, the Taiwan Navy also showed the design drawings of the 1,400-ton "light patrol ship" jointly developed with the Taiwan Shipyard. This patrol ship can carry 16 "Sea Sword 2" air defense missiles and 8 "Xiongfeng 2" anti-ship missiles compared with this tonnage, its firepower is already very powerful, and it is also equipped with an air-range radar, which can detect targets within a range of 50 nautical miles around, and has certain stealth capabilities.

However, the Taiwan military has not responded to these revelations, so some people think that this is to deal with the "enemy threat" and keep some important information confidential. The "Sea Project" patrol ship was originally one of the Taiwan Army's shipbuilding project plans. It originally planned to build a prototype ship in 2018, which took about 2-3 years. If the test is good, five will be built to replace the original "Lafayette", "Perry" and "Norfolk" frigates of the Taiwan Army, thus becoming the main battleship of the Taiwan Army.

So what is the reason for the delay of this warship? This warship was originally planned to be equipped with the Aegis system, the "Xiongfeng-3" anti-ship missile, and the vertical launch system. Other equipment has been equipped. However, there is a problem with the vertical launch system , and its research and development progress has fallen into a bottleneck. The upcoming "2027 Threat Node" is imminent. In order to give it enough military strength before this "threat" arrives, the Taiwan military had no choice but to build 8 small frigates to respond to the emergency.
