Wang Feng-tien, chief of the supervisory office for second-generation warships says: "The weaponry and electronic warfare systems aboard a warship are varied and complicated. Everything has to be more precise than on merchant ships, from pipe-fitting to welding. There are two to three times the amount of welds, cabling and piping on a 4,000 tonne naval ship as on a 14O, 000 tonne commercial vessel."
「軍艦裝載的武器和電戰系統多而複雜，從管線佈設到銲接都要比商船精密而困難」，二代艦監造處處長王鳳田上校指出，「一艘四千噸軍艦的銲道、電纜、管路組件，是一艘十四萬噸商船的二至三倍」，其他如防震、防噪音和隔熱等要求，也都遠高於商船。
