It would be interesting to know what level or standard of building the PRC is using for its new Coast Guard Cutters.

Are they commercial standards, low, medium or high combat standards?

I believe the Berthold Cutters (The new US National Security Cutters) are built to actually a higher standard than the LCS were...which of course are now being upgraded and the new FF class being built with that same medium level of combat standards.

Of course vessels like the DDGs, CGs, CVNs, LPDs, LHD/As, etc. are all built to the highest combat standards...which is another reason they cost so much.

Outside of large Coast Guard Ice Breakers...the two largest Coast Guard Cutters on earth.
I see the large gun (76mm?) forward and mounts for two smaller caliber weapons above and to either side of the hanger.

I also see four large water cannons. Two above the hanger on the aft end to either side, and two on the main superstructure on either side just forward of the big funnel.

Type 053H2G class offshore patrol vessels of the Chinese Coast Guard

The Type 053H2G (NATO codename Jiangwei I) were Chinese frigates that entered service with the People's Liberation Army Navy in the 1990s. They were later variants of the

which is an improved Type 053H2G equipped with HQ-7 SAMs. The Type 053H2G frigate is slightly larger than the Type 053H2, and equipped with the unsatisfactory HQ-61B surface-to-air missiles (SAM). In 2015 three of the four frigates (the last frigate is fitting out) were decommissioned from PLAN and were transferred to Chinese Coast Guard after modifications that included the removal of the two triple box launchers for the YJ-83 SSM, the the sextuple HQ-61 SAM system, the dual 100 mm gun mount, the ASW rockets, the torpedo launchers and the majority of the sensors and radars
