List of frigates of the United States Navy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of frigates of the United States Navy, sorted by hull number. It includes all of the hull classification symbols FF and FFG. Prior to the 1975 ship reclassification, ships that are now classified as FF or FFG were classified as DE or DEG (destroyer escort). The Oliver Hazard Perry class has been retired from active duty in the Navy as of 2015, and use has been replaced by the Littoral Combat Ship, to be augmented by the planned Constellation class guided-missile frigates.
