Taiwan’s Chief of the General Staff Lee Hsi-ming confirmed that the Navy will begin research into the construction of 60 “Stealth Mini-Missile Assault Boats” weighing 45 tons each; with the goal of having the fleet completed within four years, Taiwan News reports quoting CNA.

The statement comes after various media reports emerged that the Chinese Navy is working on latest strategy of building new large surface warships, including aircraft carriers. Lee said the mini boats will accommodate only 2-3 sailors who could fire surface-air missiles on enemy vessels.
