Taiwan launched the first of its new heavily armed "aircraft carrier killer" warships on Tuesday, with the homemade vessels touted as a key to the country's self-defense efforts against China's overpowering People's Liberation Army (PLA). 

Taiwan's President Tsai Ing-wen presided over the unveiling ceremony of the vessel named Ta Chiang, a new prototype developed on the domestically made Tuo Chiang-class guided-missile corvette. 

At the Lungteh shipyard in Su'ao, a township in Taiwan's eastern Yilan County, Tsai said the new warship program was a sign of the country's determination to defend its waters and protect its territory and sovereignty. 


WNU Editor: This warship looks "small". It must pack a lot of missiles if it wants to take on China's navy.

I don't see any large cells for the missles, just the 40to50mm gun on the front. No radar either.

Internally it has 8 subsonic and 8 supersonic AShM plus Mk32 torpedoes at port and starboard. This is a nasty little fucker.

Remember it only took a few destroyers to push back a large Japanese strike group in the Pacific during WWII. Battle of the Philippines I believe.
