The Institute of Strategic Studies in Britain, verifies this with the following information: on the water the mainland Chinese navy has a versatile attack capability on coastal bases and ships at sea, with more than 50 destroyers and frigates, 250 missile speedboats, and nearly 150 speed hydrofoils. It can also impose a sea blockade of Taiwan and the outer islands.
英國戰略研究所的資料驗證了這種說法：在水面上，中共海軍的五十多艘驅逐艦和巡防艦、二百五十艘飛彈快艇，加上將近一百五十艘水翼快艇，既能機動攻擊沿岸基地和航行艦艇，又能對台灣本島及外島實施水面封鎖。
