Over the past few years, ChinaCoast GuardThe power has grown tremendously. Among them,Navyof 38 capital ships andArmy1 ship was delivered one after anotherCoast Guardpower, which has aroused the curiosity of many people - why is there such a strategic layout?Today I'm going to talk to you about this issue.
First, let's look at ChinaCoast GuardThe overall development of power. Before 2013, China did not have a standardized and professional maritime law enforcement force, and various departments such as fishery administration, maritime surveillance, and coast guard were independent of each other. However, in 2012, due toDiaoyu IslandsThe issue sparked a fierce contest between China and Japan, and China quickly mobilized a formation of four maritime surveillance vessels, including the Haijian 51, to enterDiaoyu IslandsCruising in nearby waters. At that time, China's maritime law enforcement forces had problems with insufficient number of ships, tonnage of ships, and degree of modernization. In contrast, the Japan Coast Guard's ships have advantages in terms of number, tonnage, and modernization level, and even have 6,000-ton security agency ships, which are not only large in tonnage, but also capable of carrying。China was established in 2013 to unify maritime law enforcement forces and build a strong maritime law enforcement forceChina Coast Guard, ending the previous situation of "five dragons ruling the sea".
However, in ChinaCoast GuardAt the stage when the forces were just being formed, the ships were in poor condition, and in particular, there was a serious shortage of large and medium-sized ships. In order to meet the real needs, ChinaArmywithNavyPart of the ships began to be handed overCoast Guardpower, becomeCoast GuardPart of the ship. Among them, ChinaArmyIntegrated support vesselsGY820 boatIt is a large ship with a full load displacement of more than 2,700 tons, which was delivered in 2015Army, which was later handed over in 2022 or early 2023Coast Guardpower, and modified toCoast GuardWarship. This kind of integrated support ship has a bow landing springboard and can support small-scale amphibious landing missions, which can be seen in ChinaCoast GuardIn the process of construction, the forces attach great importance to the landing of islands and reefs and the ability to support the sea. AbsolutelyArmyThe number of ships is limited, and it is still needed at critical momentsNavysupport.
ExceptArmyThe transfer of ships,Chinese NavyThe 38 capital ships were also handed over one after anotherCoast GuardUse of power. InCoast GuardIn the early days of the formation,Navyof two Type 053H and four Type 053H2GCorvetteIt was handed over to the first placeCoast Guard。In addition,NavyThe ships also include the ocean-going survey ship 871 Li Siguang, the 852 Qixing ocean-going electronic reconnaissance ship, the Dongyou 621 offshore oil tanker, three 4,000-ton Type 072 amphibious landing ships and the 723Icebreakers, No. 721Icebreakers, 2600 horsepower ocean rescue tugboat, 922 type large military comprehensive rescue ship No. 503, etc. These ships, after being improved and refined, becameCoast GuardPart of the force, it plays an important role in maritime law enforcement and support.
It is worth noting that since 2021,Navyof 22 shipsType 056 frigatesIt was also handed overCoast Guardpower, which is of great significance. After the ships were handed over, they were dismantledNavyComes as standardarmament, such as anti-ship missiles, anti-aircraft missiles, and anti-submarine torpedoes. However, they retained 76-mm naval guns and 30-mmMachine guns, with powerful artillery firepower. AsCoast GuardShips, in the event of a close confrontation, were able to quickly gain the upper hand with the superior firepower of 76 mm naval guns. It should be noted that these 22 shipsType 056 frigatesAn early model in the series, less than 10 years old, is relatively new and meets 21st century design standards. In addition, ChinaCoast GuardThe power also has a number of other types of ships, such as the Type 818Coast GuardBoat andType 718B Coast Guard vesselWait.
As of 2022, ChinaCoast GuardIn total, the force has 2 ships of 12,000 tonsCoast Guardships and more than 3000 tonsCoast GuardMore than 70 ships.

FilipinoCoast GuardThe number of ships is relatively small, only more than 30 in total, and some of them are even only 100-ton class.
In general, ChinaCoast GuardThe building of forces has made great achievements in development and will become the most powerful in the worldCoast GuardStrength. This is of great significance to China in safeguarding maritime rights and interests, protecting maritime security and strengthening maritime law enforcement.
