ROCS Tzu I (FFG-1107)

ROCS Tzu I (FFG-1107)

ROCS "Tzu I" (子儀, FFG-1107) is the fifth of eight Taiwanese-built frigates based on the USN Oliver Hazard Perry (FFG-7) design. Laid down in August 7, 1994 and launched in July, 1995, "Tzu I" was commissioned in service in January, 1997. All of these Taiwanese FFG's have the length of the later Oliver Hazard Perry FFG's, but have a different weapon and electronics fit.

Like her sister ships, "Tzu I" was built under license by China SB Corp. at Kaohsiung City, Taiwan, ROC.

As of 2005, "Tzu I" is homeported at Tso-Ying naval base.
