The Mk l5 Close-in Weapons System and MK 75 Rapid Fire Gun provide secondary anti-air capability. Ships of this class are often referred to as FFG-7 tpronounced FlG-75 after the lead ship, U.S.S. Oliver Hazard Perry CFFG-7j. Frigates fulfill a Protection of Shipping QPOSJ mission as Anti-Submarine Warfare KASWJ combatants for amphibi- ous expeditionary forces. underway replenishment groups and merchant convoys. PERRY-class frigates are primarily Undersea Warfare ships intended to provide open-ocean escort of amphibious ships and convoys in low to moderate threat enxironments. The ships are equipped to escort and protect carrier battle groups, amphibious landing groups, underwyay replenishment groups as well as various convoys. They can also conduct independent operations to perform such tasks as counter-drug surveillance, maritime interception operations, and exercises with other nations. The FF G 7 class has also proved itself as a robust platform, capable of withstanding considerable damage. This toughness was aptly demonstrated when USS SAMUEL B. ROBERTS struck a mine and USS STARK was hit by two Exocet cruise missiles. In both cases the ships survived, were repaired and returned to the fleet. The addition ofNTDS. LAMPS helicopters, and the Tactical Towed Array Sonar System has given these ships a combat capability far beyond the class program expectations of the mid-l970's, and has made the ships an integral and valued asset in virtually any war-at-sea scenario and particularly well suited for operations in the ever more important I littoral regions of the world.
