According to the news released by the People's Liberation Army Eastern Theater Command on August 5, the Eastern Theater Command continued to conduct practical joint exercises and training in the northern, southwest and eastern sea and airspace of Taiwan as planned, and continued to test the joint combat capabilities of the theater troops. The Eastern Theater Command Air Force continued to dispatch multiple fighter jets such as fighter jets , bomber , early warning aircraft , electronic reconnaissance aircraft and other fighter jets to carry out practical exercises such as air combat, support cover, air strikes, reconnaissance and early warning around Taiwan.
The photos of the warship navigation released by the People's Liberation Army Daily also caused heated discussions. The photos showed that a PLA naval soldier was observing with a telescope on the deck of the warship. The nearest photo was an ship , and the coastline and mountains were in the distance. The white columnar buildings on the coastline were vaguely visible.
What interested me the most was the rusty ship that the Taiwan Navy came out to intercept. It can be recognized from the hull number 935. This is the Taiwan Navy's Lanyang missile patrol ship.
This ship was originally the No. 25 ship "Joseph Heves" of the US Knox-class anti-submarine ship. It has a full load displacement of 4,260 tons. It was designed to hunt down the huge number of submarines of the Soviet Union during the Cold War. When was it launched?
1970...I don't know where Taiwan found such an old onion
Lanyang
When serving in the US military, this submarine hunting ship basically did not participate in any major operations when serving in the US military. It just patrols and wandered around. The only time it participated in the operation was to rescue the stranded in Mona Island cruise ship Regina, but the action failed because of the storm.
After the collapse of , the submarine hunting ship lost its place of use and was sold in large quantities. In 1994, the ship passed the lease bill and eight ships of the same type, and sold them to the ragged Taiwan Navy (it is better to buy it if you are not as good as buying it in traditional art).
The Navy reinstalled the Wu San system and standard type 1 missile onto the Lanyang warship to make up for the shortcomings of air resistance, transformed it into a missile cruiser, and deployed it in Suao Port , mainly responsible for patrol tasks from the northeast to the eastern waters of Taiwan.
is currently one of the largest tonnage battleships in the Taiwan Navy, except for the 9783-ton Keelung-class destroyer (also a US old product purchased from overseas).

Suao Port is in Taiwan
This ship was in good maintenance when delivered to the Taiwan Navy. After all, it did not perform much missions. Generally speaking, as long as it is well maintained in Wanwan, it will not rust like this. If you think so, then I can only say that you underestimate the maintenance level of Wanwan that is comparable to that of A San.
This Lanyang ship was repeatedly exposed by the media during its service because the low proper rate of high-pressure steam boilers caused unexpected events such as reversing furnaces to lose power.
During the 2017 Typhoon Nisha invasion of Taiwan, the Lanyang, which was anchored at Keelung Port, barely avoided the typhoon under the protection of the Taiwan Navy. Unexpectedly, the "Lina" of the civilian ferry anchored behind the warship broke the rope due to excessive wind and waves, drifted forward and hit the Lanyang, causing damage to the ship's side tail, the helicopter railings were broken, and the side tail radar detection line was broken. If it weren't for being in the port, it might be possible to perform a warship sinking on the spot.
was later inspected and evaluated by the Taiwan Navy and Taiwan ships, and believed that it would take at least two months to complete the repair, and the repair fee was about NT$3 million. Then the slutty place came. The Taiwan Navy decided to claim compensation from the ferry company in accordance with the instructions of the pseudo-Ministry of Defense...
This is not the end. Two years later, in 2019, the Lanyang was in a fire during the overhaul outsourcing project at the dry dock of the Suao Shipyard. However, the Wanwan Navy had no response plan at all. Finally, the fire brigade drove the firetruck to extinguish the fire...
After investigation, the outsourcing manufacturer found that the temperature was too high when the ship bottom welding project was carried out, causing a lot of smoke from the furnace cabin control room, and the fire did not burn at all. The fire truck came over and sprayed it with water and took a shower.
After a while, Wanwan was struggling, and this ship became the current bad-looking
. That's it. The Wanwan Navy is still reluctant to let it retire because Taiwan does not have the ability to build a ship. The warship replenished all depends on the American father to dump the rags and return one less. This ship has been 51 years old and has no virtue of respecting the elderly and loving the young.
Let's take a look at the Changchun ship , which crossed the middle line of the strait, approached the sea of Kaohsiung , and confronted the Taiwan Navy successfully class destroyer. It was launched in 2010. The 052C class No. 3 ship, with a full load displacement of 7,000 tons, equipped with active phased array radar and vertical launch system , nicknamed "Chinese Aegis Shield"

multiple times composed of editing The team broke through the first island chain and went to the Western Pacific Ocean and Indian Ocean for high-intensity training, and went to the Gulf of Aden and Somalia waters to replace the 16th batch of escort formations to carry out escort missions. The Changchun ship's escort lasted 213 days and nights. The formation completed escort missions of 43 batches of 115 Chinese and foreign ships, and also held joint military exercises with Iranian naval ships on Strait of Hormuz . In recent years, it can be said that the People's Liberation Army Navy, which represents our muscles and has shown its stake.
