Historical Information

The main purpose of these ships was the protection of convoys and aircraft carriers, as well as the engagement of air and submarine targets. USS Oliver H. Perry (FFG-7) entered service in 1977 and was the first ship of its class. The frigates served in the US Navy until 2015, and were also transferred to the navies of countries including Australia, Turkey, Taiwan, and Spain.
