馬來西亞皇家海軍1990年代，新一代近海巡邏艦計畫（NGPV）得標艦艇，原預計耗資243億令吉，76快砲，MK-49 RAM公羊飛彈系統，吉打級護衛艦

吉打級護衛艦為馬來西亞皇家海軍在1990年代初期提出的新一代近海巡邏艦計畫（Next Generation Patrol Vessel，NGPV）產物，原預計耗資243億令吉，在20年內分批購買27艘水面艦艇，由德國得標27艘的訂單，因不斷的進度延誤和超支而取消後續21艘的建造。
The Kedah-class offshore patrol vessels of the Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) are six ships based on the MEKO 100 design by Blohm + Voss. Originally, a total of 27 ships were planned, but due to programme delays and overruns, only six were eventually ordered. Their construction began in the early 2000s, and by 2009, all six were in active service. The six vessels are named after Malaysian states.
