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