PFG-2 Cheng Kung-class [Perry] FrigateThe PFG-2 is virtually identical to the Perry Class FFG-7 in use in the U.S Navy. Taiwan's Kuang Hua I [Glorious China] naval modernization program includes the licensed-production of eight Perry-class (Cheng Kung-class) frigates.
As of the early 1990s Taiwan planned to field a navy with an eventual strength of 25 modern frigates.
The frigate procurement was planned to total at least 24 ships: 8-12 PFG-2 designs based on the USN's FFG-7, 6 PF types based on the French 'La Fayette' design, and 6-9 ex-USN Knox-class.
The Taiwan Frigate (PFG-2) class frigates are designed for anti-submarine warfare (ASW) and to escort other ships that are sent to the same seas.
They are to be used mainly for coastal patrol and border defense.
This effort is part of the US Foreign Military Sales Program through a cooperative agreement with the USG, U.S. defense contractors and the China Shipbuilding Corporation (CSBC).
Lockheed Martin worked with the China Shipbuilding Corporation and the Chungshan Institute of Science and Technology (CSIST) and the Republic of China Navy to plan, build and operate Taiwan’s first indigenous surface combatant, the Perry-class PFG-2 frigate.
The Navy placed an order for the PFG-2 frigates with the state-run China Shipbuilding Corp. (CSBC) on 08 May 1989. The first Perry-class frigate, "Cheng Kung," started construction on 10 January 1990 and was completed 7 May 1993. Afterward, one frigate was delivered to Taiwan every 11 months. The ROC Navy took delivery of a third missile frigate in 1995, and the fourth in early 1996.
Construction on the fifth, sixth and seventh units were underway by 1996, and was completed by November 1998.
The first seven of the class are knowns as Flight I, and are named after Chinese generals and warriors.
The ship is powered by 2 LM 2500 gas turbines (General Electric), to give a top speed of 29 knots while carrying a crew of 185 and 2 SH-2 LAMPS helicopters. With a displacement of 4,000 tons, the frigates are equipped with advanced radar, artillery, torpedo, surface-to-surface and surface-to-air missiles as well as anti-submarine helicopters.
The Perry-class frigates are armed with indigenously- produced Hsiung Feng II ASCMs, and air defense weapons systems include the Standard air defense missile. The area between the mast had to be strengthened to take the Hsiung Feng II missles.
The primary mission of these newer frigates is sea control, particularly the capability to protect the sea lanes beyond the range of coastal aircraft.
