Oliver Hazard Perry-Class Guided Missile Frigate (FFG

The Oliver Hazard Perry class was an American guided-missile frigate design intended to provide relatively economical escort capability. Its equipment balanced anti-submarine work, limited area air defense, helicopter operations, and surface tasks within a compact platform. The class served the United States and numerous foreign navies.

Designed as a relatively economical escort, the class emphasized protecting shipping against submarines and air attack. Export construction and transfers gave Perry-derived ships long careers in allied navies, often with weapons differing from their original American fit.

The class used gas-turbine propulsion and carried a shipborne helicopter capability. American ships originally combined a missile launcher with a gun and antisubmarine systems; later removals and foreign upgrades substantially changed the appearance and capability of individual vessels.
