A participant in the selection of ship types for the second generation of warships, explains that "the main types under consideration were the F-122 and MEKO-360 from West Germany, the LUP from Italy and the FFG-7 from the US. Finally the FFG-7 (7th generation Perry-class) was chosen, having joint antiaircraft and antisubmarine capability, with midrange antiaircraft missiles and the ability to carry two large antisubmarine helicopters."
以二代艦來說，「主艦當時曾考慮西德的 F-122、MEKO-360，義大利的 LUPO 與美國的 FFG-7 等型艦」，一位曾參與二代艦選艦工作的人員表示：「最後美國的 FFG-7（派里級第七代）以其配置中程防空飛彈和可以搭載兩架大型反潛直升機，具備防空、反潛能力而雀屏中選。」
