The GCNS Tenzin was an experimental frigate built by the Republic of Chilokver and the first major surface combatant built after the Second Huliean Civil War. Significantly larger than the preceding Lu Ten-class and other contemporary frigates, she was also the first Chilokveri warship to feature a low-observable, sloped hull and a vertical launching system. Though her development and service were without issue, the Grand Chilokveri Navy nevertheless considered her design to be a disappointment as despite her increased cost and displacement, she offered no significant improvement over the preceding Lu Tens as multi-role vessels and particularly in anti-submarine warfare. Rather than basing the Next Generation Frigate (FFG(X)) program on the Tenzin's design, what would eventually become the Wen Jing-class was instead developed as a clean sheet design which would take full advantage of her key technologies. The Tenzin was decommissioned in 2015 and is currently moored in Yanmei as part of the Naval Reserve Fleet.
