Navy goodwill fleet visits Caribbean allies
Posted on 2026-04-20 06:58:13
The Navy's goodwill fleet has wrapped-up port calls in St. Lucia and St.
Vincent and the Grenadines and is now headed to Belize.

The fleet is officially designated as the 2026 Midshipmen and Cruising
Training Squadron of the Republic of China Navy.

It arrived in St. Lucia on April 11 for a three-day stop.

Two of the goodwill fleet's three vessels - the fast combat support ship
Panshi and the Kang Ding-class guided-missile frigate Di Hua - were opened to
the public there.

Taiwan's embassy in St. Lucia says the vessels draw approximately 2,000
visitors.

The third vessel, the Cheng Kung-class guided-missile frigate Yueh Fei was
not opened to the public.

The fleet then sailed to St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

A formal welcoming ceremony will be held in Belize on April 22 - and that
port call will mark the first visit by the Navy's goodwill fleet in 13 years.

The fleet left Taiwan in late February for its annual training voyage.
