USS Kirk (FF-1087)

USS "Kirk" (FF-1087) was a "Knox"-class destroyer escort, originally designated as DE-1087 and reclassified as a frigate (1975) in the United States Navy. Her primary mission of ASW remained unchanged. She was named for Admiral Alan Goodrich Kirk.

Awarded to the Avondale Marine on 25 August 1966, "Kirk" was laid down on 4 December 1970, launched on 25 September 1971 and commissioned on 9 September 1972.

She served in the US Navy up until 6 August 1993, when the ship was decommissioned and leased to Taiwan. In Taiwanese service she was renamed "Fen Yang" with the hull number changed to 934. On September 29, 1999, the ship was finally purchased by Taiwan.
