外媒專文建議:台灣應增加小型機動艦艇 強化台海拒止能力

前美軍太平洋司令與學者在《外交事務》撰文,主張台灣海軍應轉向規模較小、分散部署的水面作戰艦艇以因應中國威脅。

Quick Look

前美軍太平洋司令布萊爾與學者廖宏祥在《外交事務》撰文指出,台灣海軍應改變長期以大型艦艇為核心的建軍方向,增加造價低廉、具機動性且分散部署的小型水面作戰艦艇,以提高對中國的「海上拒止」能力。

Why It Matters

台灣海軍長期以驅逐艦、巡防艦等大型水面艦艇作為艦隊核心,現有造艦規畫包含以大型新艦汰換老舊水面艦。

台灣海軍小型水面艦艇在高雄外海進行演訓;《外交事務》刊文主張,台灣可重新思考以大型驅逐艦、巡防艦為核心的建軍方向,增加較小型、具機動性且能分散部署的水面作戰艦艇。

〔編譯陳成良/綜合報導〕台灣海軍長期以驅逐艦、巡防艦等大型水面艦艇作為艦隊核心,但前美國太平洋司令部司令布萊爾(Dennis Blair)與前國防大學戰爭學院榮譽講座廖宏祥認為,台灣應重新思考海軍建軍方向,增加數量更多、規模較小且更具機動性的水面作戰艦艇,以因應中國可能發動的跨海登陸。

《外交事務》(Foreign Affairs)4日刊出兩人的專文〈台灣如何贏得台海:更靈活的海軍能拒止中國〉(How Taiwan Can Win the Strait: A Nimbler Navy Can Deny China)。布萊爾1999年至2002年擔任美軍太平洋司令部司令,2009年至2010年出任美國國家情報總監;廖宏祥則為國家太空中心(TASA)資深顧問。

兩人指出,台灣與中國相隔約160公里的台灣海峽,海軍的重要任務是阻止中國利用大型兩棲船艦把部隊送過海峽。台灣過去則偏好以驅逐艦、巡防艦等大型艦艇建立水面艦隊,現有造艦規畫也包含以大型新艦汰換老舊水面艦。

專文主張,台灣不需要擊敗中國海軍,也不必取得整個台灣海峽的制海權,重點應放在阻止中國把入侵部隊送過海峽,並讓入侵部隊難以獲得保護、補給與增援。相關分析認為,這要求台灣重新思考艦隊組成。

小型艦艇更分散 搭配飛彈、無人機提高存活力

兩人建議,台灣可採用較小型、分散且具生存力的水面作戰平台,並與潛艦、機動飛彈、無人機、情報監視偵察系統及具韌性的指揮管制能力整合,建立以「海上拒止」為核心的防衛架構。

作者特別強調成本與生存性的差異,文中提出的小型護衛艦每艘造價可低於2億美元,大型軍艦則可能達約20億美元。以較低成本換取更多數量與分散部署,可降低單一艦艇遭摧毀對整體戰力的影響。

兩人因此認為,台灣的目標不必是控制整個台海,而是讓中國難以安全運送、保護及持續增援跨海進犯部隊,藉此提高海上拒止能力。

Open Questions

  • 台灣官方是否會採納此項建軍建議?
  • 未來國防預算配置是否會因此調整?

In order to track down the leak of secrets, the US military conducted polygraph tests on about 50 people in the Joint Chiefs of Staff in August.

In August, the U.S. government conducted polygraph tests on about 50 members of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff to track down leakers who revealed to the media that the war in Iran had resulted in a decline in the U.S. military's inventory of key ammunition such as long-range missiles and Patriot interceptors. Retired generals described this scale as unprecedented.
