According to Taiwan media, Taiwan's defense department is evaluating the new 6,500-ton destroyer, and the evaluation results of some design plans have been released. The Taiwan military revealed that the new type of ship will be used as a follow-up to the "Keelung-class" ship in service.
It is reported that this destroyer is one of the ships proposed by Tsai Ing-wen to build their own ships. According to Lai Yueqian, a commentator on current affairs in Taiwan, the four so-called 6,500-ton destroyers are currently known as Taiwan's version of "Aegis ships." The Taiwan Navy's shipbuilding plan has been implemented since 2018, with a total budget of NT$470 billion.
Why did the Taiwan military propose this 6,500-ton destroyer project? Teng Jianqun, a special commentator for the main station, believes that he "came prepared." At present, in addition to the four destroyers imported from the United States as large combat ships, the Taiwan Navy now has about 20 warships, but these are difficult to undertake the so-called combat missions, both in terms of combat capability and in terms of their old state.
Teng Jianqun analyzed that if this kind of large-scale destroyer equipped with phased array radar is put into service with the Taiwan Navy, it will not only enhance its combat capability, but will also become a missile position and an intelligence information collection node, and its phased array radar can track and monitor multiple incoming targets.
The Taiwan Navy has a long history of making decisions on shipbuilding.
Wei Dongxu, an expert on military issues, pointed out that the Taiwan Navy had previously tried to build a 4,000-ton so-called "Aegis" frigate, but in the process of research and development, it found that there were too many technical obstacles to build, so it could only be reduced and turned into a corvette of about 2,000 tons. "The development of new warships by the Taiwan Navy is a haphazard target, leaving behind a lot of unfinished projects. ”
This time, the Taiwan Navy has proposed to build a new destroyer of 6,500 tons, and judging from the "axe-shaped" design of the bow, the technology required is quite complicated. However, at present, with Taiwan's shipbuilding capacity, including the best design level, it can only meet the construction needs of corvettes of about 2,000 tons. Wei Dongxu bluntly said that the Taiwan Navy's so-called plan for a "new generation of main warships" "has drawn a lot of pies, but in the end it will not be eaten." ”
