TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — The Coast Guard Administration’s third Chiayi-class 4000-ton patrol vessel was launched and christened “Yunlin” on Monday (Dec. 12).

The ship, built by Taiwan’s CSBC Corporation, will be deployed with a flotilla patrolling Taiwan’s southern waters, according to Liberty Times. It can be converted for military use during wartime as well as a hospital ship.

The Chiayi-class patrol vessel has a full load displacement of 5,044 tons, can withstand winds of up to level 10 on the Beaufort scale, and has a range of 18,529 kilometers. It is also equipped with three high-pressure water cannons with a range of 120 meters.

In addition to the four Chiayi-class ships, 15 100-ton patrol vessels and six 1000-ton ships are under construction in Keelung, per Liberty Times.
