The Yilan-class patrol vessel is a pair of heavy patrol vessels of the Coast Guard Administration of Taiwan.
They have a max crew of 50. The vessels have advanced quieting and interior noise control.[2]
The two ships of the class, Yilan and Kaohsiung were commissioned together on June 6, 2015.[3] The original plan was for one vessel to primarily be deployed to the East China Sea and for one to primarily be deployed to the South China Sea.[4]
The first vessel of the class is named Yilan (CG128).[5]
The second vessel of the class is named Kaohsiung (CG129). In June 2020 Kaohsiung and another coast guard vessel detained a large Chinese sand dredging vessel which had been illegally harvesting sand in Taiwanese waters.[6]
