The Tuo Chiang-class corvette is a Taiwanese-designed class of fast and stealthy multi-mission corvettes built for the ROC (Taiwan) Navy.

It is designed to counter the numerous and increasingly sophisticated Chinese Navy ships by utilizing hit-and-run tactics, and thus featured clean upper structure design with very few extrusions to reduce radar signature, pre-cooled engine exhaust to reduce infrared signature, and a reduced visual signature to reduce the chance of detection.

The ship is a wave-piercing catamaran design that is 60.4 metres (198 ft) long, 14 metres (46 ft) wide, and carries a crew of 41. It is capable of a top speed of 40 knots and a range of 2,000 nautical miles (3,700 km; 2,300 mi).

It is armed with eight subsonic Hsiung Feng II and eight supersonic Hsiung Feng III anti-ship missiles launchers, a Phalanx Close-In Weapons System, and a 76 mm main gun. The ship can operate up to sea state 7 in waves up to 20–30 ft (6.1–9.1 m) high.
