In June 2016, two Oliver Hazard Perry-class frigates of the US Navy, ex-USS Taylor (FFG-50) and USS Gary (FFG-51), were handed over to the Government of Taiwan for the Republic of China Navy. The transfer cost was an estimated US$177 million. Following a reactivation period at Detyens Shipyard in Charleston SC, the ships sailed for Taiwan in March 2017 and arrived at their new home port in June 2017. The transfer of the ships includes the AN/SQR-19 Multi-Function Towed Array. Taiwan had previously been blocked from acquiring the AN/SQR-19, and the transfer of the system points to an anti-submarine focus in line with the Knox-class frigates they will likely replace.
A new class of eight (8) conventional attack submarines is planned. In November 2020, President Tsai Ing-wen officially opened the submarine construction facility in Kaohsiung, and it is reported (as of November 2021) that the lead submarine is under construction. The Taiwanese military's Indigenous Defense Submarine program anticipate having the first new 2,500-ton domestically produced submarines entering service in the 2023-25 time frame.
