The Coast Guard Administration (CGA) on Tuesday retired patrol cutters Ho Hsing (和星) and Mou Hsing (謀星), which had served the agency since its founding more than two decades ago.
The storied ships which served in the Northern Flotilla Sector of the CGA Maritime Patrol Directorate were decommissioned in a ceremony presided over by CGA Director-General Chou Mei-wu (周美伍) at the Port of Keelung.
Ho Hsing was built by China Shipbuilding Corp, now known as CSBC Corp, while Mou Hsing was built by the Netherlands-based Wilton-Fijenoord, now part of Damen Shiprepair Rotterdam, the CGA said in a statement.
