Anping-class offshore patrol vessel

The Anping-class is a class of offshore patrol vessels manufactured by Jong Shyn Shipbuilding Company for the Coast Guard Administration of Taiwan.

Overview

The class is based on the Tuo Chiang-class corvette of the Republic of China Navy but lacks the 76mm main gun and has modifications for use in the law enforcement role. They are fitted for but not with the HF-3 and HF-2 anti-ship missiles with the same capacity as the Tuo Chiang-class. In wartime they would serve as fast attack craft.[3]

History

Construction of the first vessel began in January 2019.[4] One was reported to be launched on 11 December 2020, with a further three Anping-class vessels are slated for delivery to the Coast Guard Administration before the end of 2026.[5]

Vessels

A total of twelve vessels are planned.[6]

CG 601 Anping was launched on April 27 2020[6][3] and entered service in December 2020.[2]

CG 602

CG 602 Chengkung[2] was launched in December 2020.[1]
