Enterprise (CVN-65), the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. Even the Navy s workhorse
Arleigh Burke-class destroyers (DDGs) will likely find a place in history given the role these have played in recent conflicts.
The same likely may not hold true for the
Oliver Hazard Perry-class of low-cost gas turbine-powered anti-submarine warfare (ASW) frigates, which could also perform the secondary role as anti-aircraft (AA) and anti-surface ship warfare (ASuW) vessels. Designed to provide escort protection for other ships, the Navy has said these proved to be the “little ship that could” for enduring missions over the course of nearly four decades. The frigates conducted maritime interdiction operations, counter-narcotic efforts, and engagements with partner navies thus fulfilling the Navy s Cooperative Strategy for 21st Century Seapower or Maritime Strategy.
