37
In late September, on the basis of the U.S. Navy in Florida, a ceremony was held fleet the last active frigate of the Oliver H. Perry type - FFG 56 Simpson, reports the blog bmpd with reference to jacksonville.com.



"The ship was in the ranks of the US Navy exactly 30 years and was distinguished by the sinking of the Iranian missile boat P 225 Joshan (La Combattante II) during Operation Praying Mantis in the Persian Gulf 18 on April 1988, becoming the last American ship to sink an enemy warship" writes the edition.



In total, the US Navy was 51 frigate of this type. Their write-off began in 1994. According to the resource, from the number of decommissioned ships, “19 were transferred to foreign fleets: nine Turkey, including one as a source of spare parts, four to Egypt, two to Poland and Thailand, one to Bahrain and Pakistan”.

In April, the delivery of another 4 'pensioners' to Mexico and Thailand (two units each) was approved. The sale of several decommissioned frigates to Taiwan is also planned.

      Written off is just an expression. In fact, it will be mothballed and will wait for the sale, or it will stand idle until completely lose its relevance.
      30 years for a ship is not a long time.

        Pomnitsa, when the fate of the Mistrals was being decided, some advised to transfer them to Ukraine so that the fleet of the Independent would quickly and irrevocably collapse. smile

        By the way, the transfer of OHP to Ukraine was seriously discussed in 2008. But then everything died out

      I agree with you that the project was "so-so". For wars with the "Papuans" was good but no more. However, 30 years in the ranks with their "combat intensity coefficient" is more than impressive. To our great regret, only a few survive to this age - perhaps only "Ochakov" and "Sharp-witted" for 40 years in the ranks. It is very bitter to remember the 956 project, which the "tsekovskie elders" ruined in the bud due to their stupidity and greed - you see, there was no place to put the PGU (fuel oil boilers). So they pushed boilers from steam locomotives into the latest missile destroyers! Damn, stupid people!

    The ship is not deservedly exposed to obstruction. This is a frigate, not a destroyer, its tasks are much more modest, hence the nomenclature of weapons. For its main function of PLO, it was very good. GAS AN / SQS-56 + towed SQR-19 + two PLO helicopters with the LAMPS system are more than good for a ship of this displacement. For comparison, domestic BOD pr.1155 had a much greater displacement and had virtually no strike weapons (except for Chabanenko). Not to mention the quantity in the series.

      What else to do with it? In the nose - a single-girder PU "standards". In the stern there is a hangar and a helipad. So I had to shove the "Italian" into the center of the hull on the superstructure.

      Well, what do the rest of them do, the Germans with the French and other Russians? And with such angles of fire ... "Stark" did not manage to maneuver along the course to drive the target into these corners, the result is known.

      Although, of course, the carelessness of the Stark commander is the main reason.

        Well, where are the rest doing, Germans with the French and other Russians?

        So OHP were built for other tasks. It was supposed to be a massive, cheap ship to protect Atlantic convoys during Operation Reforger (the transfer of US forces to Europe at the beginning of TMV) and a "cheap" addition to the AUG escort and landing force (in addition to the "expensive" Spruens).
        Accordingly, the main thing was to inscribe in the body the means of PLO (GAS + helicopters) and air defense of the compound (PU "Standards"). And the means of self-defense were already installed according to the residual principle.

        Not so simple.
        If the target was initially classified as hostile and there would not have been these political games of the State Department with "friendly Iraq", then "Stark" had time to maneuver, and give out the CO at the target, and even hit it to the core. And then "Stark" accompanied the target for 15 minutes (following a constant course), waited until it approached 12 miles and captured the FR of its airborne radar - and only after that, the anti-aircraft missile system suddenly realized that the target was outside the R2D2 firing sector and that it would be nice to change course.
        Agree that with KON escort in wartime, no one would wait until the Tu-16/22 / 22M approaches 12 miles. smile
