USS Mahlon S. Tisdale HISTORY USS MAHLON S. TISDALE is the twenty-first Oli- ver Hazard Perry Class Frigate built for the U.S. Navy by Todd Pacific Corporation, Los Angeles, California. On her commissioning of 13 November 1982, TISDALE joined the Pacific Fleet. The concept of the class began in 1971 when the United States Navy initiated a program to build fifty Patrol Frigates. The Class was later redesignated as Guided Missile Frigates and the Class leader USS Oliver Hazard Perry was commis- sioned on 1 7 December 1977. It is the largest Na- val destroyer class to be built since World War II. TISD ALE ' s operational role is to complement the fleet ' s ability to keep the world ' s sea lanes open and free and to provide for in-depth pro- tection of military and merchant shipping, under- way logistics support, amphibious forces and air- craft battle groups. To achieve this the ship has been specifically designed to simultaneously counter threats posed by air, surface and subsur- face launched missiles and enemy warships. In today ' s defense enviroment, the key abili- ty to respond rapidly and effectively is the key to success All of TISDALE ' s systems are designed to meet this important requirement. The Combat System is a new and innovative design, integrat- ing a computerized command and decision sys- tem with the ship to reduce the number of crew members required. Designed to provide quick reaction defense against surprise anti-ship missile attack, TISDALE complements the capabilities of other ships of the fleet in ensuring thorough multi-threat pro- tection. Digital computers provide rapid evaluation of potential threats detected by our radars, digi- tal sonar, or other shipboard sensors. Should the need arise, surface-to-air and surface-to-sur- face missiles, a rapid fire gun. Close In Weapons System, ASW torpedoes, and an embarked heli- copter can be employed effectively in counter- ing potential threats. Quick reactions are not limited to combat systems alone. Two computer controlled Gas Turbine Engines operating through a Controllable Pitch Propeller give the ship high acceleration speed, maneuverability, and the ability to be ' ' on line in less than one tenth of the time required by steam turbine ships. Two forward mounted Auxiliary Propulsion Units give the ship excellent maneuverability in confined harbors and a sec- ondary means of propulsion.
