Taiwan accelerated work on the construction of high-speed corvette-catamarans of the Tojiang class. Radio station ICRT writes that next year it is planned to hand over the ships to the armed forces. The army will immediately abandon five such ships.
The shipyard increased its staff to fulfill the order. As a result, a ship will last not 27 months, but 17 months.
“Tojiang” was created using radar stealth technology.
It has been called the “aircraft carrier killer” because of its powerful weapons.
The ship is equipped with eight Xiongfeng-3 and eight Xiongfeng-2 supersonic anti-ship missiles. It has a 76 mm gun and small-sized Mark-46 anti-submarine torpedoes.
The length of the ship is 60.4 meters, the width is 14 meters. It can speed up to 38 knots (70.4 km/h), cruising range – 2 thousand nautical miles, crew – about forty people.
