Well, techinally speaking, there is the Yuzheng 88....

Factually speaking there is not: FUXIANHU has given up the masquerade fx being Yu Zheng 88, and is back as straight 888.

Similarly, 883 and 884 no longer parerende to be Yu Zheng 21, but have reverted to their true numbers.

In fact, a lot of naval auxiliaries have at one time worn false FLEC identities. The last was Yu Zheng 34 in late 2013, which was reallly the Zhanjiang-based intelligence trawler Zhan Yu 815.

there are probably 35+ cutters (of 7 different classes) of 3000+ ton that are under construction in this 5 year period alone. This is only going to pick up with 2 years to go. (Only 2 has been delivered so far)

as for 12000 ton, that order is 2 I believe. There are some conflicting information regarding the 3000 ton classes, so it's hard to say the exact numbers right now.

Further a 3,000 ton cutter

I believe I see to two mounting points for Russian 30mm CIWS on top of the deck house in front of the bridge.

I doubt it is for CIWS, could be for RWS or even crewed gun.

Probably a case of fitted for but not with.

While no picture of this 12,000 tonne is made public yet but according to Chinese sources, it will be an enlarged version of this 4,000 tonne problem that is entering service. It will be armed by a single 76mm mount plus two 30mm twins, a large helicopter facilities to accommodate two Z-8s and a top speed of 25 knots.


I believe the original article is this one:

万吨级海警船满排12000+,双直八机库,带坞舱,主炮76,2副炮,2高机,带海上补给功能,航速25节

2014年1月23日,在中国南方某船厂,中国海警局在同一天下水海警1401和海警3306两艘大型执法公务船,这是中国近年来加大执法船队建设的一个缩影。针对日本海上保安厅先进的大型远洋执法船,我国海监和渔政等部门正在加大新型执法船队建设力度,据悉,正在建造和即将开工建造的大型执法船包括10艘4000吨级海警船、6艘3500吨级海监船、4艘5000吨级抗撞型海警船、4艘6000吨级海警船、11艘3500吨级渔政船和4艘以上的12000吨级大型海警船,待建和正在建造的3000吨级以上大型执法船合计达到空前的50艘左右。这些执法船建成后,中国将拥有世界最强大的执法船队,其质量和数量将数倍于日本海上保安厅的船队,意义不言自明。
  目前,日本海上保安厅共拥有13艘3000吨级以上级别的执法船和38艘1000吨级执法船。其中有40%建造于80年代,已经老旧不堪。而我国未来的千吨级执法船规模将达到日本3至4倍的规模。在质量和数量全面压倒日本海上保安厅。
  据悉,新一代4000吨海上执法船是以海监50为蓝本的改进型船舶,新型渔政3000吨级执法船则为新研制船型,具备高航速,抗撞能力强的特点,5000吨级海警船是在8000kw级救捞船的基础上稍作修改的综合多功能执法船,具备极强的撞击能力,在未来执法中对日本海上保安厅具备较大的战术优势。而新型6000吨级海上执法船是在海巡01大型执法船的基础上改进而来,可以实现快速建造。此外,中国海警船队的执法船正在逐步配备武器,为未来的执法斗争和军事斗争做好准备。
  据《朝日新闻》报道,日本海上保安厅将在2015年度完成在钓鱼岛周边海域组建一支由12艘巡视船和400人组成的钓鱼岛专属团队的目标。目前,第11管区海上保安本部共有7艘1000吨以上的巡视船在活动,其中不少是从其他管区借调过来的。为了实现12艘巡视船的配置,日本海上保安厅将在2012年度的补充预算案中列入了新造6艘1千吨级别巡视船的经费,计划在2015年度开始巡航。(图片为我国海巡01船)
  同一时期,中国开始针锋相对的发展新一代大型执法船队建设,力求在质量和数量上全面压倒日本海上保安厅。中国武船重工与国家海洋局在北京签订了9艘海监船建造合同,合同总价近25亿。近年来,武船致力于打造国家最主要的公务船建造基地,在电力推进、DP-2定位、侧推、全回转舵桨装置等先进技术领域积累了丰富的经验。此次签订的5艘3000吨级海监船和4艘5000吨级海监船分别以工厂建造的中国海监50、海巡01为母型船。作为后续船,为工厂缩短建造周期、降低目标成本奠定了基础。两型船将于年内开工。
  据悉,正在建造的12000吨级大型海警执法船将创造人类大型执法船之最,采用两个直八大型公务直升机机库设计,可装备新型无人执法直升机和其他直升机,带有大型坞舱。并首次配备一门76毫米口径主炮、2门30毫米或23毫米口径副炮,以及2挺12.7毫米高射机枪。此外,新万吨级海警船具备海上补给功能,可以为其他海上执法船进行补给。其最高航速达到25节。
  近期钓鱼岛局势、南海局势日益复杂,建造更多渔政船、海警船和海监船只,加快装备建设势在必行。中国海警南海总队负责人此前曾透露,目前正在加快装备建设,建造更多海监船只,以扩充海洋巡航执法的队伍,加强巡航。
  业内人士认为,在这一背景下,中国重工作为我国最强最大的海军舰船装备供应商和海洋工程产业的领跑者,具有显著的先发优势,其军工和海洋工程业务板块的未来发展令人期待。据悉,中国重工下属子公司武船重工近年来已先后承制了5种型号的海监船共11艘、维修3艘,目前在制的有8艘。
  自去年成立海警局之后,作为海上执法的“国家队”,其执法装备建设正在加速,原有的渔政、海监和海警各自的大型执法船队建设被整合,为了加快船队建设的脚步,中国正在从北到南的十多家船厂同时开工建造大量执法船队。
  据悉,为了加快执法船队建设和建造的速度,新型执法船均采用现有船型改造的结构,这样做可以有效提高船厂建造速度。预计上述正在建造和即将开工建造的船只将在未来5年内全部交付。

Aviation facilities for two Z-8s suggests to me a relatively decently sized flight deck and hangar. A 76mm gun and two 30mm twins are relatively moderate for a vessel of that size, but not unexpected, after all, it is still a "law enforcement" vessel.

Hmmm...sounds more and more like a larger, but similar vessel to the large, 9,300 ton, Japanese cutters.

Double hangers with a large helo pad. Two twin 30mm guns, but a larger main gun.

The Japanese vessels have two twin 30mm mounts, two 20mm mounts, and may also mount some 40mm cannons, and also have the dual helicopter hanger and pad.

I am really interested in seeing these Chinese cutter design. No matter how you cut it, a 12,000 ton is a huge, monster for a coast guard cutter, particularly one that is not a large ice breaker.

How many cutters does the Chinese Coast guard now have ? Isn't this becoming overkill ?

And why would that be overkill? China had very long coastline as well as large area of disputed islands area. From what I see, they do not have enough. Even Japan had massive number of cutters and one or more 6000tons heavily armed cutters.

I don't know if you should look for any sane arguments backing up the need of such a large 'cutter' by CCG. It's political. Thay said they'll build it and they will. Nothing more nothing less in this case.
