軍艦全出動

宣示護漁決心，海巡署在昨天已經派遣海軍拉法葉艦支援海巡台南艦，並且在這個星期四，派出火力更強大的紀德級驅逐艦，在南海展開軍事操演，也表示空軍F-5E戰機、和經國號戰機都加強空中巡弋密度，藉由兵力展示，喝阻菲律賓。

海巡署2000噸級台南艦，12日上午高雄港出發，前往南海海域巡航。

[[海巡署長 王進旺]]
“重疊海域裡面，有3艘我們的巡防艦，1艘是台南艦 另外1艘是福星艦，還有巡護一號，國防部在(12日)中午時間，也派一艘「康定艦」(會合)”

康定號艦除了搭載飛彈，並配有S-70C反潛直升機，接著，海軍還會再加碼。

[[國防部副部長 楊念祖]]
“我們在星期四有一個規劃項目，紀德艦、成功艦還有，另外兩艘海軍軍艦，到附近的海域操演去”

不論菲律賓72小時後的答覆是什麼，國軍確定加派紀德艦級驅逐艦。 

[[軍事專家 施孝偉]]
“台灣26艘船裡面，派出任何1艘，就可以把整個菲律賓海軍全部消滅”

比較兩國海軍實力，台灣在海軍人數、驅逐艦、巡防艦上都遠遠勝過菲律賓的兩艘漢彌爾頓級護衛艦。

[[國防部諮詢委員 宋兆文]]
“我們只要用(F-16)小牛飛彈，跟魚叉飛彈，就可以把兩條大的，百分之百打沉”

再比較兩國空軍戰力，台灣擁有3.5萬名空軍，菲律賓僅1萬6500人，國軍戰機包括F-16、經國號、幻象、F-5E戰機共385架，反觀菲國只有F-5和輕戰機約40架。

Taiwan deploys more ships and fighter jets in dispute with Philippines (2013/05/13)

As the dispute over a dead Taiwanese fisherman intensifies, Taiwan has decided to deploy powerful Kidd-class destroyers in expanded military drills in the South China Sea. The show of naval force will be accompanied by deployment of F-5Es and indigenous fighter jets. 

Sunday morning the Coast Guard deployed its 2,000-ton Tainan vessel from Kaohsiung to patrol the South China Sea.

Wang Jinn-wang
Coast Guard Minister
Inside these seas, which have overlapping territorial claims, we have three boats patrolling. There is the Tainan vessel, the Fushing vessel as well as Patrol Boat No. 1. At noon yesterday the Defense Ministry also sent a Kangding class frigate. 

The Kangding class frigate carries missiles and is equipped with S-70C anti-submarine helicopters. There is a chance the Navy could soon add more ships to the area. 

Andrew Yang
Deputy Defense Minister 
We have a plan on Thursday to conduct an exercise in nearby waters with a Kidd-class destroyer, a Cheng Kung class frigate, and two other naval vessels.

Regardless of the Philippines’ reaction to President Ma Ying-jeou’s 72-hour ultimatum, the Ministry of National Defense has given its permission to deploy Kidd-class destroyers to patrol the area. 

Erich Shih 
Military Expert
Of the 26 vessels operated by Taiwan, each one could take out the entire Philippine Navy.

Comparing the two navies, Taiwan has a clear superiority in the number of sailors, naval destroyers and patrol ships. In fact, the Philippines basically operates just two large ships, a pair of Hamilton-class cutters.

Sung Chao-wen 
MND Advisor
As long as we use the (F-16)’s maverick missile along with (ship-based) harpoon missiles, we can completely sink these two large vessels.

Comparing the two air forces, Taiwan has 35,000 airmen while the Philippines has only 16,500. And Taiwan has 385 aircraft, including F-16s, IDFs, Mirages, and F-5E fighters. The Philippines only has F-5s and other light fighters.
