development
Due to the Asian crisis of 1997 , the Fregate 2000 plan from the early 1990s to build a new generation of coastal defense ships ( frigates ) was canceled. However, since the Gearing-class destroyers were decommissioned and the aging fleet had to be replaced by Ulsan-class frigates , the plan was revived as the Future Frigate eXperimental .
The Navy initially wanted twenty-four 3,000 ton frigates to replace the thirty-seven units of the Ulsan , Pohang, and Donghae classes . However, it was decided to reduce the displacement to 2,700 tons for the first construction lot of six ships. In 2008, was charged with taking over presidency of Lee Myung-bak , the displacement in turn reduced to 2,300 tons. The 2nd construction lot should consist of eight. Units exist, with a target of twenty to twenty-two frigates.
The first export customer is the Philippines.

In 2016, the Philippines ordered two multi-purpose frigates for their navy , which are based on the HDF-3000 frigate design from Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) and have been specially tailored to the requirements of the Philippines. This design is referred to by the manufacturer as HDF-2600 and by the Philippine Navy as the José Rizal -class after the type ship . With a length of 107.5 m, a width of 13.8 m and a draft of 3.65 m, the ships will displace around 2,600 tons.
