{{Kidd class destroyer}}
Derived from the [[Spruance class destroyer|''Spruance class'']], '''USS ''Callaghan'' (DD-994/DDG-994)''' was the second ship in a class of [[destroyer]]s operated by the [[United States Navy|U.S. Navy]]. [[Kidd class destroyer|''Kidd'' class]] vessels were designed for [[air defense]] in hot weather. She was named for Rear Admiral [[Daniel Callaghan|Daniel Judson Callaghan]].


{{DEFAULTSORT:Su Ao (DDG-1802)}}
Originally named ''Daryush'', ''Callaghan'' was ordered by the [[Shah of Iran]], but was undelivered when the [[1979]] [[Iranian Revolution]] occurred. Subsequent to this, the U.S. Navy elected to commission her and her sister ships for service in the [[Persian Gulf]] and [[Mediterranean Sea]], as they were equipped with heavy-duty [[air conditioning]] and were also well suited to filtering sand and the results from [[NBC weapon|NBC warfare]].

''Callaghan'' was decommissioned in 1998.

She was transferred to the [[Republic of China]] in 2004. In that service, the vessel is named '''''Ming Teh'' (DDG-1802)'''.
