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.

i remember some folks, including myself thought that was a typo or just a rumour cause we didn't think they would build such a huge ship for the ........coast guard? well, they did build it and it looks awesome.
They built two!
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.
