Historical Information and Usage

Knox-class frigates served in the United States Navy from the late 1960s and were subsequently transferred to allied nations, including Taiwan. The vessel USS Robert E. Peary (FF-1073) entered service in 1972 during the Cold War and in 1995 was transferred to the Navy of the Republic of China (Taiwan) as ROCS Chi Yang with hull number 932. These ships took part in numerous patrol missions, convoy protection, and anti-submarine warfare tasks, with their presence strengthening the naval fleet during periods of geopolitical tension.
