Navy shows off Harpoon missile capabilities of ’Feng Chia’ frigate
Navy shows off Harpoon missile capabilities of ’Feng Chia’ frigate
2026-03-13
Since formally entering service in 2018, the Ming Chuan and the Feng Chia—two secondhand Perry-class patrol frigates purchased from the US—have been responsible for patrol missions in the Taiwan Strait. As opposed to the domestically produced Cheng Kung-class frigate, these two ships are equipped with towed array sonar and can fire US-made Harpoon missiles. The navy recently for the first time gave a live-fire demonstration for reporters aboard the Feng Chia. Let’s take a look...
Torpedoes explode from a launcher in a violent burst. They may be firing blanks, but the volume alone is enough to shake you to the core.

This MK13 missile launcher aboard the Perry-class frigate Feng Chia can mount Harpoon and Standard missiles. It can fire one every 10 seconds to engage incoming anti-aircraft missiles.
Ready for deployment at lightning speed, this towering Harpoon missile is a vital surface anti-ship armament for the navy.
This Phalanx weapon system simulates combat engagement, bolstered by a 76mm autocannon to deliver formidable firepower. This was the first time the weaponry aboard the Feng Chia was unveiled before the media.

Feng Chia captain
Our biggest difference from the Cheng Kung-class ships is the MK13 launcher equipped with Harpoon missiles, as well as the towed array sonar. Crucially, this system can be deployed far from the ship’s hull noise, enabling it to bypass the constraints of the undersea thermocline layer.
But quality equipment alone is not enough. Adaptability of the crew is just as important.
Sailors coordinate to deploy hose lines before entering a simulated fire zone for a joint rescue drill.
They administer first aid immediately after finding their injured comrade. An ultrasound can be performed onboard to assess his condition.

CCP gray-zone incursions are increasing daily. Beyond continuously honing the core competencies of petty officers, it is essential to integrate current operational trends and emerging technologies.

Most people believe that having female personnel onboard would be inconvenient, but in my experience over the past year, I haven’t found it to be inappropriate or inconvenient at all. Everyone has their own space.
Since it was commissioned in 2018, the Feng Chia frigate, equipped with superior anti-submarine and air defense capabilities, has been patrolling the Taiwan Strait, serving as a vital component to safeguarding the nation.

海軍"逢甲號"開箱! MK13裝設魚叉飛彈裝備首曝光
2026-03-13
海軍向美國購買兩艘二手派里級巡防艦，分別命名為銘傳號及逢甲號，2018年正式成軍，負責海峽偵巡任務，有別於國產的成功號，這兩艘軍艦配備了拖曳式聲納，還能發射美製魚叉飛彈，逢甲艦上的實彈武器裝備，首度在媒體鏡頭前曝光，帶您一塊來開箱。
魚雷飛彈裝置，猛烈一炸，以空包彈演練實際發射，光是音量，就很震撼。

“這座派里級艦上的，MK13飛彈發射架，能夠裝設魚叉飛彈及標準型飛彈，能以每10秒一發的射速，攻擊來襲的防空飛彈”
以高速率裝設完畢出場，這高大的魚叉飛彈，成為海軍重要水面反艦戰力。
方陣快砲模擬接戰，加上76快砲助陣，形成強大火力，逢甲號上系列的武器裝備，首度在鏡頭前曝光。
[[逢甲軍艦艦長 劉致玄]]
“我們跟成功級艦最大的不一樣，我們的MK13飛彈發射架，還有配附魚叉飛彈，以及我們有配附，MK19拖曳式聲納，主要在於，他可以在釋放的過程之中，遠離艦體的噪音，突破海底聲溫層的限制”
但光有好的配備還不夠，人員應變能力同樣很重要。
海軍人員，模擬進入火場前，合力布設水線，偕同展開救援。
找到傷者，第一時間進行急救作業，艦艇上能即時照超音波，掌握傷患情況。
[[逢甲軍艦資系士官長 王世昕]]
“中共對我灰色地帶襲擾，與日俱增，除了不斷精進士官本質外，還必須結合，當前作戰趨勢，以及新興科技”
[[逢甲軍艦醫務中士 蘇怡蓉]]
“大部分的人都會覺得說，女性官兵來到船上，可能會比較不方便，但是對我來船上這一年多，我覺得沒有到不合適或不方便，都有各自的空間”
2018年正式成軍的逢甲號，以優異反潛及防空能力，擔負台灣海峽偵巡任務，成為守護國家的重要戰力。
