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.

The class is based on the s of the Republic of China Navy but lacks the 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.

History

Construction of the first vessel began in January 2019 at the Jong Shyn Shipbuilding Company's Kaohsiung shipyard.

In May 2022, the Anping ship launched a HF-2 anti-ship missile for the first time in a joint exercise with the Navy, indicating the ship has the ability to join battles during wars.

Vessels

A total of twelve vessels are planned.
