Overview
The class is based on the Tuo Chiang-class corvettes of the Republic of China Navy but lacks the 76 mm (3.0 in) main gun and has modifications for use in the law enforcement role. They are fitted for but not with the HF-3 and HF-2 anti-ship missiles with the same capacity as the Tuo Chiang class. In wartime they would serve as fast attack craft.[3]

In May 2022, the Anping ship launched a HF-2 anti-ship missile for the first time in a joint exercise with the Navy, indicating the ship has the ability to join battles during wars.[5]
Vessels
A total of twelve vessels are planned.[6]
