Overview:
The Oliver Hazard Perry-class Frigates (Named after a U.S. Navy Commodore) were purchased by the U.S. Navy in the 1970s and 1980s as a general-purpose escort vessels capable to do most jobs adequately, yet cheap enough to be bought in large quantities to replace aging World War II-era destroyers. Although costs rose dramatically over their production run, all 50 ships planned for the USN were eventually built.

Some Perry class vessels are slated to remain in US Navy service for years, but many have been decommissioned. Others of these vessels have been exported/transferred to foreign countries, including Australia, Bahrain, Egypt, Poland, Spain, Taiwan and Turkey. Pakistan has requested up to six Perrys.
