ROCS Tso Ying (DDG-1803)

ROCS "Tso Ying" (DDG-1803) (左營) is a "Kee Lung"-class (formerly "Kidd" class in U.S. service) guided-missile destroyer currently in active service of Republic of China (Taiwan) Navy. It was formally commissioned at Suao Naval Base in northeastern Taiwan on November 3,2006 along with its sister ship the ROCS "Ma Kong" (DDG-1805). "Tso Ying" is named after the largest naval base in Taiwan, the Tso Ying Naval Base in Tsoying District, Kaohsiung City at southern Taiwan. The Tso Ying Naval Base is also the location of the Republic of China's naval academy and fleet headquarters.

The DDG-1803, formerly the "Kidd" (DDG-993), was sold by the United States to the Republic of China in 2004 and originally planned to be named "Chi The", which is the transliteration of "Kidd" into Chinese.
