Following the tradition of ship class naming, ROCN has referred to these vessels as Kee Lung-class destroyers, with the ships named after military ports in Taiwan. The remaining two units, ex- Kidd and ex- Chandler , were delivered in 2006, and named Tso Ying and Ma Kong , respectively.
Tso Ying, formerly USS Kidd (DDG-993), the lead ship of her class of destroyers for the United States Navy, was purchased by the Taiwanese government in 2004. Her new name in ROCN service was originally planned to be Chi The, which is a transliteration of "Kidd" into Chinese.
While Kee Lung is the lead ship of her class, she was actually not the first ship in her class built. Kee Lung was formerly the American Kidd-class destroyer USS Scott (DDG-995), which was decommissioned by the United States Navy in 1998. Scott was sold to the Republic of China Navy along with the other three Kidd-class destroyers in 2001.
