Project history: Design is a slightly modified version of the "long-hulled" USN Oliver Hazard Perry class. Named for Chinese maritime heroes. Construction of the first two aided by "kits" supplied by Bath Iron Works, which also provided technical assistance in constructing the others. Originally only four were to have been built to the basic design, but development of the phased-array radar and vertically launched SAM for the Batch II, updated variant lagged, and the Batch II program was canceled altogether in 1994. Funds to construct the eighth unit were provided in the 1999 budget; the ship had earlier been canceled in 1994 and was to be reordered in 1999, but the actual contract was delayed to December 2000.
Have fin stabilizers, rudder roll-control, and the Prairie/Masker acoustic sound signature reduction air-bubble generation system. The US Norden Systems SYS-2(V)2 sensor data fusion system is installed, as is the Vitro Cando off-the-shelf computerized data system, which assists the Mk 92 weapons control system. A RAST helicopter hold-down and transfer system is fitted. To be used by the Mk 13 launcher, 71 RGM-84L Harpoon Block II missiles were requested from the US for this class in 2000; they may eventually replace the Hsiung Feng II launchers, which could then be mounted ashore for coastal defense and aboard patrol combatants. The class may be fitted with a Mk 49 RAM SAM launcher and RIM-116 missiles at a later date.
