Cheng Kung - class frigate The " Cheng Kung " class frigates are based upon the U . S . " Oliver Hazard Perry " class and are currently serving in the Republic of China ( Taiwan ) Navy ( ROCN ) . The frigates were produced under license by China Shipbuilding Corporation in Kaohsiung , Taiwan throughout the 1990s as part of the " Kuang Hua 1 " Patrol Frigate , Guided project and served as the mainstay of the ROCN ' s theater air defense prior to the ROCN ' s acquisition of " Keelung " ( " Kidd " ) class destroyers in 2005 . In order to control new weapon systems on the frigate , which Mk 92 can ' t integrate at the time , a second CDS , H930 MCS was installed in order to control the 8 HF - 2 ( or four HF - 2 and four HF - 3 on certain ships ) and the two Bofors 40mm / L70 guns . But Mk 92 ' s Harpoon mode was deleted due to US government refused to sell Harpoon to Taiwan at the time . Also deleted were some of Mk 92 ' s ASW modes , plus refusing to sell SQR - 19 Towed Array sonar system . Originally only two lead ships were going to be built to this standard , the rest of the six ships in the class were going to be built under ACS ( Advance Combat System ) project with a lighter AEGIS ( that later became SPY - 1F ) , 48 - 64 cell Mark 41 Vertical Launch System and other systems , and a 15 - meter plug - in section . Delay in design and budget changed the project to four ships in PFG - 1101 configuration and last 4 ships in ACS configuration , then more delays changed to 6 + 2 , then 7 + 1 . By mid 1990s , ROCN decided ACS project was too risky , too long and too over budget , finally canceling it after the 7th ship was built to the PFG - 1101 standard . However , enough of the long lead items were already purchased that in late 2000 ROCN decided to go ahead with the 8th ship ' s construction with PFG - 1101 configuration — minus the two Bofors 40mm / L70 guns , after getting necessary funding . Upgrades . The " Cheng Kung " class was initially fitted with 8 x Hsiung Feng II ship - to - ship missiles , instead of the Harpoon missiles that the " Oliver Hazard Perry " class use . In 2001 , ROCS " Cheng Kung " ( 成功 , PFG - 1101 ) was refitted with four Hsiung Feng III missiles , replacing four of the Hsiung Feng II missiles . In 2009 ROCS " Chi Kuang " ( 繼光 , PFG - 1105 ) was seen with same configuration . All the other ships in the class will received the new missile upon their major overhaul . Originally , all HF - 2 missiles were to be removed , while 4 - 8 Harpoon to be carried in Mk 13 launcher ' s magazine ( with necessary upgrade to the ship ' s Mk 92 CDS which had Harpoon control mode and functionality deleted when ship was built ) , and 8 HF - 3 supersonic AShM to put in place of 8 HF - 2 AShM , giving these ships total of 12 - 16 anti - ship missiles . But the Legislative Yuan stopped the ROCN from buying Harpoon missiles from US for this upgrade , and ROCN had to settle for just 4 HF - 2 and 4 HF - 3 configuration .
