Zitat:Taiwan unveils first domestically built submarine as China threat grows

CNN — Taiwan unveiled its first-ever domestically built submarine on Thursday, an accomplishment the island democracy’s leader hailed as a significant milestone as Taipei works to boost its military deterrence in the face of a growing threat from Beijing.

President Tsai Ing-wen presided over a ceremony at the submarine’s shipyard in southern Kaohsiung city where the diesel-electric vessel was officially named “Narwhal” in English and “Hai Kun” in Mandarin – which can be loosely translated as “sea monster”. [...] The project involved a total of 1,003 Taiwanese personnel, most of which were involved in designing the submarine’s blueprint, Huang said. The personnel were all subject to monitoring by a military security division to ensure no secrets were leaked.

Huang said he was given a budget of $1.54 billion (NT$49.36 billion) to build the first ship. About 60% of the budget was spent on acquiring overseas materials and military equipment, but he believed that percentage would decrease in the future as Taiwan’s domestic submarine shipbuilding industry becomes more mature.

Baubeginn einer Klasse von neuen, kleinen ASW-Fregatten in Taiwan:
Zitat:Taiwan Starts Construction Of New Light ASW Frigate

On 16 January 2024, Taiwan started construction of a new light frigate for the Republic of China Navy (ROC Navy or Taiwanese Navy). This new class of vessel specializes in anti-submarine warfare. [...]

About Taiwan’s new generation light frigate [...]

According to the ROC Navy’s report to the Taiwanese parliament, there will be two variants of the new generation light frigate, one focusing on air defense and the other on anti-submarine warfare.

The light frigates will be 115 meters long and have a displacement of 2,500-3,000 tons. They are classified as Tier 2 (or second class) combat ships and are set to become the workhorse of the Taiwanese Navy. They will be used to respond to situations in the “gray zone”, patrol the Taiwan Strait, conduct reconnaissance and surveillance missions, escort transport ships and supplies to remote islands, secure sea lines of communication, and support military exercises and training. [...]

The ROC Navy’s light frigates will be equipped with CMS-330 Combat Management System, BAE ARTISAN radar, 76mm cannon, TC-2N SAMs, HF-3 ASMs, Phalanx Close-In Weapon System and S-70C ASW helicopters. There have been some rumors that the light frigates could be equipped with the Sea Oryx CIWS, but so far there is no information to suggest that the frigates will be equipped with Sea Oryx. The AAW variant of the light frigate can shoot SAMs with VLS, while the ASW variant is not equipped with VLS but shoots SAMs with fixed-angle launchers. It will also be equipped with light torpedoes launchers as well as air-launched torpedoes

Angesichts des Umstandes, dass Schiffe und Klassen irgendwie immer größer werden, finde ich dieses Konzept einer kleinen ASW-Fregatte recht interessant. Von den Abmessungen könnte das Schiff als größere Korvette durchgehen und es wäre für die U-Boot-Jagd allemal ausreichend. Unabhängig davon ist es sicherlich auch sinnvoll, dass es eine AAW-Option gibt - meiner Meinung nach ist die Luftbedrohung für Taiwan größer als die U-Boot-Bedrohung.
