ROCS Pan Chao

ROCS Pan Chao (班超, PFG2-1108) is the sixth of eight Taiwanese-built Cheng Kung-class frigates of the Republic of China Navy, based on the United States Oliver Hazard Perry class.

== 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. Like her sister ships, Pan Chao was built under license by China SB Corp. at Kaohsiung City, ROC. On May 23, 2024, the Ministry of National Defense released footage of the ship monitoring the PLA's Type 052DShaoxing. On February 26, 2025, the ship monitored the PLA's Type 071Simingshan and Type 903 Qiandao Lake in the southwest waters of Taiwan.
