List of active Republic of China Navy ships

This is an incomplete list of the ships of the Republic of China Navy sorted by type and class.

ROCN also avoids giving ships hull numbers that adds up or ends at "4", as the Chinese pronunciation of the number 4 is close to the pronunciation of "death". This numbering scheme is more apparent on newer acquired ships.

Note: The ROCN generally uses hull classification symbols similar to the U.S. system with some changes. The proper classification is provided when known.
