Construction and career

Laid down in July 1995 and launched in May 1996, Pan Chao was commissioned in December 1997. All of these Taiwanese frigates have the length of the later Oliver Hazard Perry-class frigates, but have a different weapon and electronics fit.[1]

Like her sister ships, Pan Chao was built under license by China SB Corp. at Kaohsiung City, Taiwan, ROC.

As of 2005, Pan Chao is homeported at Tso-Ying naval base.
