The Yung Feng class (Chinese: 永豐) are a series of coastal minehunters designed to find, identify, and destroy moored and bottom naval mines. They were built in Germany by Abeking & Rasmussen for the Republic of China Navy.

Description

The Yung Feng class can conduct both mine hunting and mine sweeping operations. They were built in Germany by Abeking & Rasmussen for the Republic of China Navy.

History

The Yung Feng-class minehunters were commissioned into service in 1991. Alternatively the Naval War College Review contends that while the vessels were delivered in 1991 they were not commissioned until 1995. The namesake for the class are the four coastal defense ship of the Yongfeng class which were launched in 1910.
