As part of the contract, each ship will receive a dry-docking selected restricted availability (DSRA).

During this period, all hull, mechanical and electrical systems, as well as chosen combat systems will be reactivated and thoroughly tested to ensure that the ships get back to their full operating capability.

The Taiwanese crews will also receive classroom, on-the-job, and underway operational exercises training on both maintenance and operation of the two US FFG systems.

The industrial work under the new order is being carried out in Charleston, South Carolina, US.
