Anping

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 Tuo Chiang-class corvettes of the Republic of China Navy but lacks the 76 mm (3.0 in) 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.
