One of my coworkers recently spent 6 months aboard a KDXIII with the South Koreans, and they claim they have a deal with the Taiwanese to build 4 ships and to license the design for domestic construction.

And speaking of Taiwan's future plans...just found this on one of the East Asia-oriented defence forums.
United Daily News (Taiwan- original article in Traditional Chinese characters)Quote:
The Navy plans to build a new generation of missile cruisers. However, the media recently reported that if the new frigate is to be equipped with the CASC system, including the phased array radar, the performance of the Xunlian (迅聯)combat system can be compared with the US Aegis system. It was originally expected that if the 4500 tons of displacement is insufficient, this will be increased to 6,200 tons to avoid overloading problems.
