A couple of holes punched through the hull of a China Coast Coast Guard Type 056 converted cutter as it got inadvertently T-boned by a Philippine Coast Guard Parola-class, due to the CCG ship blocking the path of the PCG vessel.

  1. I say converted cutter, because the Type 056 is a literal hand-me down corvette from the PLAN, de-militarized for Coast Guard use.

  2. Sooo Chinese war ships have paper thin hulls? Got it, thanks Philippines CG for fining that out for us

  3. Chinese maritime forces need more damage control practice, it’s a key reason the IJN failed so badly.

  4. This seems like an acceptable tactic that doesn’t cause further escalation. They need to equip the Philippians boats with below water level puncture devices. It will only be a few of these collisions before the Chinese reconsider their distance from these boats.

  5. “他们要干什么?撞击我们?”

    – Some Chinese naval officer, probably

  6. Philippines is learning how to properly deal with these clowns

  7. Looks like ramming is going to be back in naval warfare
