In 1985 I reported on board the USS Simpson (FFG-56), as a Radioman and was a plankowner, served from 85-89, had a great time and made a whole new family.
Served aboard Antrim FFG-20 as a HT.
I was a young Ensign on the Wadsworth (FFG 9) during the time of filming of the Hunt for Red October. They shot the footage of the underwater explosion with us in the background scene (I was in engineering at the time and we got quite a jolt with vibration alarms going off everywhere), and the scene where the USS Dallas did their emergency blow, where the Paramount crew filmed that from our decks. Some of our crew got to be stand ins for Russian sailors but I don't believe any of that made it in the final release. You should notice the scenes where the hull number switches from 57 (Rueben James) to 9 but maybe later releases edited that out. The one obvious look is where the scene of the frigate where there is a missing CIWS, which is us. Our CIWS was not installed until our next dry dock. It was quite fun and we were treated to the local world premiere in LA along with all the other Navy personnel that contributed to the movie.
Hey thanks for sharing this with me... I was an oil king on 2 of these...The Tisdale FFG27 and the George Phillip.FFG12. Tisdale my skipper was Oliver Hazzard Perry III (Little Olly).. GREAT Skipper...Talk about Clout...Talk about Sea Stories...As an Oil king, I had to talk to him EVERY day for fuel and water report.. We were a reserve ship and a 1/3 of us were a permanent detachment, EVERY other friggin weekend going out for the Weekend warriors:) It Sucked but with Little Olys Clout, West packs were like 27 ports in 6 Months...(Nice) Tisdale was like from 88-92? Hard to remember those years, (Health issues)... I was also on The USS Downs FF1070...(During the Smash up derby with the Kincade) Trying to catch up to the Hewitt DD966 which was my first duty station...Your channel is AWESOME....Thank You! Maybe do the Hewitt. 18 months in NASCO (San Diego) getting VLS. Forward only.
I was a plank owner of the USS Thach (FFG-43) and later served on the USS Rodney M Davis (FFG-60).
P.S. The Hunt for Red October.... no such thing as a self-destruct button for the torpedo.
Death Vader used the force
Served on the last Perry Frigate, the USS Ingraham FFG-61 from 2001 to 2005. We were what was called the "ghetto Navy" because we had a menial budget which meant we were on our own to fix things when they weren't considered a major issue. I was and am proud to this day of my service on the Ingraham as it taught a lot of life lessons about being disciplined, able to adapt on the fly to difficult situations, and how to do the job with less than desirable conditions. It was rather sad to see her and the other FFG's removed from service.
Had a similar experience in the 1970’s aboard a Gearing class destroyer. Once we had to patch a hole in the main condenser with body filler bought at the Navy Exchange in order to get underway. Another time I took a working party to a museum ship to salvage parts for our ship. Yup, learned alit and did some hard steaming.
Mike I was CHENG on FFG 45 from '93-94; I assure you it was "ghetto" then too!
@@JCT442 Oh, I know. Some of the Chiefs on our ship had previously served on FFG's earlier in their careers and were not shy or quiet about their thoughts on the situation. Silver lining to it was not only a sense of pride and brotherhood with all FFG sailors, but the ability to adapt quickly and find a solution to a problem with little to go on. Life skills!
I served aboard USS Copeland FFG 25. 1987 to 1991. She was a great ship. Had a awsome crew. She was sold to Egypt.
I served onbaord the USS Fahrion (FFG-22) from 1987-1990. Also soled to the Egyptian Navy as your command was.
Case Reynolds Cruised a lot of place with you over on the Tisdale. Still talk about the trip into Yokosuka, and the 1st night out.
Fc2 on the Copeland until December 91🤩
Stumbled on this video and whoa, the memories came flooding back. I was lucky enough to serve on 2 OHP Class ladies, the USS Flatley (FFG-21) and USS Samuel Eliot Morison (FFG-13). Fantastic ships and crews.
I was on the USS Clark FFG 11 stationed in Philadelphia PA
Found this video. Really enjoyed it. I (FC2) was on the Reuben James, during the filming for the Hunt For Red October, so they did actually film several of the scenes on our ship. We were re off the coast of Washington. The overhead helicopter shot and the close-up of the crew seeing the explosion was filmed on our ship. The director was on board and was losing his mind because they couldn't get the barge to blow up. Was also on the Thatch in '93
I too worked at Todd Shipyard in Seattle as a shipfitter from 1978 to 1983 when the program was winding down at Todd/Seattle . I enjoy the work on these ships . AMR#1. AMR#2 . AMR#3 .
I just found this video and really enjoyed it. I was on two of these great ships in the '80's- USS John A. Moore FFG-19, and USS Jarrett FFG-33. I'd give anything to be able to at least walk around one and show it to my kids. The crews on these ships were always very tight and I am in touch with well over a hundred old shipmates, but wish I could find more. Never Give In (FFG-19), Valens Et Egregius (Able and Excellent, FFG-33).
NO, Reuban James was portrayed by USS Gary, NOT Wadsworth. My Division chief was on Gary during filming.
CIWS tech 85-91 , sure miss those days.
Good video. Spent 4 years on MS Tisdale (FFG-27) from 11/89 to 6/93 in deck. Some of the best people I have ever known.
It is a shame that the US Navy did not simply modernize the OHP class with the Mk 13 launcher replaced by a Mk 41 VLS and the inclusion of a lightweight phased array radar system. The superstructure could easily be modified for a lower radar signature as well. A 32 cell tactical length VLS and an 8 cell self-defense VLS supporting 32 ESSM missiles in quad-pack cells could easily be installed forward. This would allow a modernized OHP to fire VL Asroc, a variety of Standard SM-2 and MS-6 as well as the ESSMs. Combined with a lightweight phased array radar, would make it essentially a mini-AEGIS that can work in a coorperative engagement with other AEGIS ships.
I don't think VLS would of fit...We got it forward on the Hewitt DD966 was a fuk story that was 18 moths in Nasco. 5am-10PM working hours for 10 months...Talk about slave labor:) HEHEE. A Job worth doing is a job worth doing well. I was on Tisdale and George Philip, Na don't think VLS would fit.
LiveLove Learn the VLS was fitted to 4 Australian FFGs quad packed with ESSM they were upgraded for SM-2.
Served aboard FFG-42, USS Klakring from 1989-92 as a Sonar Tech (STGSN/STG3). In 1991, my ship was converted from hunting subs to hunting mines as we entered the Gulf War. This video brought back a lot of memories. These were tough ships and tougher sailors. We worked as a team, no doubt! Still sort of surprised that the USCG didnt pick up a few these for drug interdiction ops.
I basically went around the world on one of these. And I used to, "Drive" her.
Hee hee hee, And I know just how fast they could go. "Forward, AND in Reverse"!
"One man" drove these ships. And on one. (For a while), that man was "me".
Working your self into the helm's, "Cockpit". Complete with a really comfy, leather, air-suspension swivel chair, was easy once you spun it around to (180) degree's.
The ships, "Wheel" was a very normal; shaped wheel. Except it was an approx. (2.5") inch diameter, cast, "solid brass" disc. With the (8), antique type vertical helpers on the outside dia. It measured almost, (4") in dia.!
The "Throttle" was a (5") wide, "Hurst style" handle with about, (10") of travel. Marked with the thrust percentages. It was marked from, (-30%) when all the way back. And forward it went up to,(120%). The ship had the US navies first, "Hydraulic", "Quick Shift". Variable pitch screw. So that during "Sea Trials", when I slammed the throttle all the way back? The two GE turbofans wound up like they were going to explode as the screws giant, pistons turned the blades backwards, to a negative pitch geometry nearly matching the standard config. but inverted. The Captain, whom had the "Con", During certain evolutions at sea-trials, "Combat E Certifications" and also certain war-games. Gave me my "head" when it came to all helm controls during such events.
And he "Loved It" when, as I was following his commands. I would very literally, "Slam" that throttle all the way up. OR all the way back.
The, "Mighty Wad" otherwise called the, "USS Wadsworth", (FFG-9), had the ability of going from a full, "EM. Flank" speed forwards. Which was an unbelievable, (@^!) knots!
(My GOD she was fast)! AND she could "For a ship", Turn on a dime! (AT SPEED)!
To, (28) knots of reverse ships motion! (This was before "Bow Planes" and Forward Elec motors"). The ships orig. config. with the all aluminum superstructure.
And I am NOT telling a, "Sea Story" here.....
Time from full forward EM Flank to Full reverse EM flank?
(14 .00 -Seconds) Flat! "As she shook like a dog, shittin kitten's"!
"If you were not holding on"?
"YOU were going down"!! And "God Forbid" If you had been in the galley at that time!
Not too shabby, Eh??
This created a transom wave that shot straight up over the "Helo Deck" about (30) feet high!
"EM Flank" was (120%) of rated output for the turbofan engines.
"THOSE were way under-rated.... But I still scorched two of 'em! "One at a time".
GOOD TIMES!
Some crew thought we were just targets,but turns out these were incredibly hard to sink.
After the LCS debacle,the U.-S. Navy should have had Bath Iron Work build the new class of frigates.
They build the best ships by far.much better than the fremm class.
Thanks B.I.W. For ffg-34,USS Aubrey Fitch.
I'm a Hull Tech, Plankowner from FFG-20.
The USS Antrim.
Did 4.5 years on that fine Lady.
Watched her get built in Puget Sound.
She took me, as a young man, to many incredible places.
Many Wonderful experiences.
I will never forget her or her crew during my time aboard.
A gang 91-94 great ship and crew.
You left 1 out. Bahrain has one. The Old USS Jack WilliamsFFG-24. I got to go on back to back Persian Gulf deployments in 88 and 89 (Ernest Will missions) we also got our combat action in Operation Preying Mantis. Very versitile Ships. While in the gulf we had other helicopters we were not to mention that had a great record of taking out Iranian mine laying ships. We went there with the Samual B Roberts and she hit a mine and that is what startrd Preying Mantis. Dang I am old.
Commissioning Crew (Plankowner) HMAS Darwin FFG-04 (USN hull #44) 1984-86, great ship with a fine crew
I served aboard the USS Reid FFG-30 from 87-90. Great ship and crew. It was sold to Turkey.
Plankowner USS Rodney M Davis FFG-60 from 1986-1990. Great ship and lots of good memories. Was known as Big EL. STG2 Barry ELmore.
was on a Knox, served alongside several OHP. It would not take that much ordinance in a real world scenario since there was no fuel, weapons and other explosives on the ship at that time.
I was an EN2 aboard FFG-57 Reuben James from 2000 to 2003.
I was a BM2 1995 to 1999
Just a quick note, these ships also served during Desert Shield and Desert Storm.
Great video. Thx
I was one of the crew on uss Duncan FFG-10 back in 87 thru early 90’s. Was Very interesting times. Wish there was one I could go look at. Would bring back some great memories.
Jeff L I was lucky enough to get a guided tour of Duncan when I was a kid! It visited Hobart, Tasmania in the early eighties. The only USN Perry class I ever went aboard, though I got to go onboard several Australian Perry class(Adelaide Class). I joined up later and operated with a few too.
Completely agree. Put another Phalanx on the mk13 pedestal and there's your LCS.
USS DeWert FFG-45 88-91 as CICO and later ASWO. Some bad times but many great friends. Would have liked to visited / toured a "Fig 7" with my kids, but missed my window. My wife (then girlfriend) did spend Thanksgiving dinner with me onboard, because as the single guy, I had duty of course!
CHENG on DeWert from 93-94; not the best 18 months of my life but Charleston was good.
I was an officer on the Thach (FFG 43) 86-89, and Hawes (FFG 53) 89-90. Thanks for including video of Thach in the PG and of her sinking. She was an awesome and tough little ship. She won the Spokane Trophy in 86 or 87. Ruled the PG in 87-88. Hawes was just as good in the PG in Desert Storm. Thanks for your video.
Steve, thank you for your service!! and for checking out the channel!! Feel free to reach out if you have any ideas, stories, photos/videos, or anything else you'd like to comment on!! For sure would like to get more veterans on the channel!!
Nice video, gave me a sense of nostalgia. Great class of ship. Proud veteran of those ships!
you forgot to say that Taiwan still has there 8 Perry's in service under there own variant called Cheng Kung class its reinforced by 2 extra Perry's bought from the US the former USS Taylor and Gary
Served on the USS Aubrey Fitch (FFG-34)...she was one fighting lady!
I was honored and privileged to serve aboard the USS George Philip, FFG 12. In the mid '80's, the Navy wasn't just a job it was an adventure. As a boatswain's mate, patrolling the Persian Gulf, my job was watching for A7s and saving crewmen from burning tankers. Great video.
STG3 Brewer, USS Reuben James - FFG57 94-96
I was on board 95 to 99 BM2 Olson
DDG 996 shown in the video is technically a Kidd class vice Spruance class
Also I was kind of surprised you didn’t bring up the USS Stark
Didn't want to spoil an upcoming video... but since I released it here you go!!! ruclips.net/video/xxzTuYgJka8/видео.html
I was on board the USS Sides FFG-14
BM3 USS Vandegrift (FFG-48) 1990-1991
Plankowner of USS Oliver Hazard Perry (FFG-7).
Michael, thank you for your service!! and for checking out the channel!! Feel free to reach out if you have any ideas, stories, photos/videos, or anything else you'd like to comment on!! For sure would like to get more veterans on the channel!!
Serve under Commander Stoddard?
Great to see my old ship USS Ford FFG 54 on here, and makes me sad think that she has been sunk now.
Nice video mate. Subbed. ,,,,, I was stationed onboard the Iowa back in the 80's. Maybe one day could do a video on it. BB61.
Served on the USS Ingraham FFG-61, and USS George Philip FFG-12. You didn't mention that FFG-61 was build against the Navy's wishes, the USS Samuel B. Roberts being blown in half by an underwater mine, or the USS Stark taking two Exocet missiles. Both the Stark and Sammy B. taught the Navy about modern damage control methods, and exactly how tough and resilient these ships were in real world conditions.
Stark was something we were taught a little bit about in our training in the Royal Australian Navy, along with the lessons learned by the British in the Falklands. I think Stark showed quite clearly how tough these ship were.
FC3 on FFG-59 USS Kauffman 94-96
GMG USS Fahrion FFG-22 and USS Halyburton FFG-40
FFG-7 from 90-93. ET, SPS49 and IFF. TAR ship. Reservist spent all day Saturday checking in and all day Sunday checking out and the rest of us the core crew did all the work. Mostly sailed without them most of the time anyway. Port and Starboard watches. Mostly picking up Cuban and Haitain refugees and running drug radar pickets. Got to do a Baltic tour which was cool. Clinton kept shutting down bases so we had 3 home ports in 3 years. USS neverdock. I had 3 years and 3 months of continuous sea pay. In gitmo a lot. Peurto Rico. It was a love hate thing.
USS Oliver Hazard Perry FFG-7 Commissioning crew member/Plank owner 1977. Navy meritorious unit commendation for shock and sea tests. 1st two years of my navy time was onboard the Perry. We had a LOT of AWOLS (including myself & a LDO Assistant damage control officer) but I still loved that ship. Great lakes cruise, I was 17 it was an adventure. Poor leadership at the top unfortunately for many of us. Fond memories and hard work.
@jerryconner4270 yes, poor leadership for sure. I got out because of it. But every sailor loves his boat. I crossed the Atlantic on her. Rode out hurricanes.
@@williamtownsend3279 as part of our sea trials, unknown to me at the time, we were ORDERED to find hurricane weather and test the abilities of the ship and crew. I was a lowly mess cook trying to carry 10 gallons of milk up steep ladders, and I did learn how to do this, its a bit tricky when you can't use your hands. I often wondered, what the hell is going on, only later did I know what we were doing and our missions were still accomplished. Try to carry 10 gallons of liquid milk in a box up a almost 90 degree ladder in hurricane weather as the ship rocks in every direction. I had to rock and roll with the movements of the ship. Not an easy task....after all these years 46 years later I can remember this clear as a bell.
@jerryconner4270 I rode out a few. I can remember boot marks on the bulkheads. I was an ET. The Long range air search radar and IFF were mine.
I loved to watch these Frigates. Underway, alongside the pier tugging at there lines. During underway replenishment. Myself I served on Gators and oilers. The brass should have been shot for removing the SM1 ER from the inventory and Prematurely removing the Perry’s from service. The turks and another navy’s still buy the SM1 ER from Raytheon. In the Gators we loved having the Perry’s protecting us. Before that we had at times a couple of Knox class frigates with us. I always like the Spruance DDG’s which could have been kept around for a few more years
Former Deck Ape USS Jarrett (FFG-33) I miss that ship. They were great ships.
Former Snipe from the Jarrett here, late '80's was my time on board. Great ship, great crew. I loved that ship.
PS - the first time I saw a Perry Class with the MK-13 Launcher removed, I felt physically ill. Castrated for sure.
Ya vienen en camino a Chile
No more Aussie ships, all been replaced with the Hobart class. 2 of them are now in service with Chile.
This is an excellent video, but the narrator is incorrect. USS Wadsworth was only in one scene where the Russian sailors were topside on the flight deck during the underwater explosion in the movie Hunt For Red October. As the second CO of USS Gary, it was really Gary out of Long Beach that played the role of Reuben James in the scene where the FFG was maneuvering to fire at Red October. Half of those Russian sailors in the movie were really crewmen from Gary.
I remember you, "It took a minute". Howdy XO!
I spent 2 1/2 yrs on FFG-56 USS Simpson.
That was not USS Wadsworth that conducted the simulated attack on the Red October during the movie. It was USS Gary that made the attack run and fired the gun against Red October. USS Wadsworth’s flight deck was used to assemble Russian sailors and also during the underwater explosion sequence. Half of those Russian sailors were USS Gary crewmembers dressed up as Russians. During the filming of Hunt for Red October - filmed in the SoCal Ops Areas - USS Reuben James was out of area and unavailable.
I was on the wadsworth....82-86 you are incorrect!
Man with the Pan The movie was filmed in 1989 to 1990. You were long gone from Wadsworth, pal. Besides I was XO from 81 to 82 of Wadsworth and watched it being filmed in SoCal when I was CO of Gary, so you are totally wrong. Anything else you would like to add?
@@manwiththepan3918 I was on the "Mighty Wad" back then....How come you never told me we were movie stars????
I was on the Wadsworth during the filming. We filmed the underwater explosion and the emergency submarine blow from our deck. Paramount pictures camera crew was onboard. In the movie you do catch scenes where you see our hull number 9 instead of 57 for Rueben James. You also see the missing CIWS which we did not have at the time. Some crew members did get to play extras but no scene made it to the final release. We were treated to the world premiere showing in LA along with other Naval units which participated in the filming. I was only an Ensign at the time but it was a fun experience. The underwater explosion shook us in engineering and monitoring alarms went off.
Frigate sailor here. Knox class and Perry class. USS Whipple FF-1062 and USS Crommelin FFG-37. We always carried two Lamps MK III's when we deployed. Helicopters are the only way to deal (hopefully) with a submarine. Not a big fan of the Perry class. Sonar control was pretty much a walk in closet between CIC and the operations office. Much preferred sonar control on Knox class, but then I was a 26 CX tech and we could make some serious noise with that thing. 240,000 watts of ear splitting power baby.
Yep a whale attacked the Hepburn when the captain decided use active sonar to find the grays. The whale did not survive. The sonar dome did survive either. Cracked the prop and tweaked the shaft angle enough to have it straightened. I was on (DE) FF 1055 18 months. Spent 15 months in the shipyards.
Served on FF 1095 & FFG 45; I agree with you Knox Class better.
These were missile frigates. Started in 1975
Old but a very impressive and highly reliable Navy ship that has ever built, its too bad however that the Philippine government most espcially the previous administrations has never reconsidered to procure this type of magnificent warship when they have a chance.
Served on the USS Flatley FFG-21 as an ET 1987 to 1991
Sprout5199
I was on the Flatley in 1988 as an OS. Enjoyed my time there until I blew out my knee doing a stores onload, and wound up at NAVHOSP JAX for surgery while y'all went on Caribbean cruise. I was bummed. After rehab and T.A.D. at NMCRC Jax, I wound up in Charleston on USS Samuel Eliot Morison (FFG-13) to finish out my last 2.5 years.
I don't understand why the US Navy, did away with the FFG Perry Class Ships, they are more durable and faster than the larger DDG Class Ships.... FFG's can operate in waters close to shore, were as the DDG can not.. And FFG's operational cost is far less than that of the DDG's....With the technology that we have today and high aircraft engine output along with new weapon systems and missiles the FFG Class of Ships would be the fastest war ships on the high sea's.... And could defeat an enemy before they knew what had happened...
single screwed FFG-7 class was not faster than twin screwed DDG's. trust me on that one.
I was Chief Engineer on FFG 45 when the ship was only ten yrs old. The ship was a piece of crap; designed & built as cheaply as possible. The fire main pipes and valves were rusted out and we had mechanical issues constantly. After 30 yrs, these ships were beyond worn out. To keep them going would require money spent beyond what the USN wanted to spend. Foreign navies have invested in them but USN refused.
The ship that was in hunt for redoctober.....was uss gary ffg51
At 3:53ish FYI served for 30 years? 77-97 is not 30 years. My submarine had a longer half-life it’s still glowing In Hanford, Wa
Estas.clase.de.fragatas.oliver.hazard.perry..llegan.ahora.para.la.armada.chilena
I served as a HT on FFG-42 it was a good ship design and proved itself, why they took away it's MK 13s?its primary defence capability sounds political, it made me mad to see them destroyed. But I know that's the Navy, time to move ahead.
⤴️ USS Samuel B. Roberts (FFG-58) "SAMMY-B" Sailor, 1990's. 🇺🇸⚓👍
i don't understand why after this great frigate serving your country for many years and now you will sunk him for practice.what a sad story.
Charlie Delena *her
Excuse THE GRAVE MISTAKE OF MY FORMER COMMENT! As it was meant for the previous Vid. Which was for the Russian and Chinese Carriers!!.....BUT MY I-PAD JUMPED TO THE NEXT VID. (This One).......Sorry for the Mistake!
I see the problem there are blockades at sea but no road blocks Sorry a Bubblehead couldn’t resist
Long hull & short hull I remember something similar Navy Boot Camp August 1973 and we got to the haircut part and the Chief told us there were 2 types of haircuts available
L O N G & short and he emphasized he didn’t like guys that got L O N G’s. The difference shirt was a crew cut about 1/8” long the
L O N G was about 3/16” on top I opted for a short the usual answer to the difference between a good haircut and a bad haircut is about 2 weeks does not stand true here
I was eventually on a boomer 60-70 day patrols I’d get a L O N G right after we went to sea a couple of trims around the ears and all was good when I got back to Pappa Hotel
The ship in the Sinkex would have sank earlier if it had still retained fuel or munitions.
I must bring all sorts of shame to the name, Oliver Perry, naaah not really, I was a skateboarder, ignored, always broke, grew up a city kid, poor as a kid, etc....I had a winning lotto ticket, someone stole that from me, my life sucks, anywho, really like the story, damn 10 or more hits ! ! ! 12hours to sink, crazy bad ass engineering ! ! !
It's a shame...these ships were under appreciated by top brass. If the Navy is looking to reach the goal of 350 ships to help combat against the Commie Chinese, the remaining 7 Perry class should be reactivated. Yeah, everything costs money, however, proving to be very durable and rugged "little" ships, these ships would be well worth it. How's that? Well if Turkey, Poland, Taiwan, Spain, and Egypt are still using these ships and have been upgraded and are still seaworthy after all these years, I don't see how it's impossible for the U.S. Navy to do the same. Blame it on the top brass - all they want are the new fancy toys.
This...Perry class FRIGATES .are more capable..than..Those..SHITTY.
..LCS SHIPS..of the U.S NAVY..
Too bad you are not capable of writing properly.
Thaaaaank you.
How are you at receiving bad feedback?
A. No OHPs were 'built' outside the U.S.
B. It only took eighteen hours to build one of these ships; WoW!
C. 1997 minus 1977 is not thirty years; you're off by a decade.
D. I agree with another critique: the "decomissioned" Thatch may have been sunk; but, she was so, as a target ship.
E. Ticonderoga(s) appeared not long after the OHPs.
F. You spent too much time highlighting real ships to fictional context.
G. (r. D & F).. you failed to mention what happened to both the USS Stark & USS Samuel B. Roberts, in the Persion Gulf. *I was present with the latter.
Your whole video is a disgrace and disrespectful.
If the navy is in such bad shape; people like you must be running it.
A. 8 frigates of the Cheng Kung-class were built it Taiwan. 6 frigates of the Santa Maria-class were built in Spain. 2 frigates of the Adelaide-class were built in Australia. While not classified as OHP Frigates, that's what they are.
B. I stated in the video that the DESIGN work was completed in just 18 hours. This was with newfound computer assistance in the design process.
C. You're correct, I misspoke. My apologies.
D. True
E. I'm guessing you're referring to the OHP's being less preferred assignments vs. Arleigh Burkes or Ticonderogas? Otherwise, I'm not sure of the point you're trying to make.
F. Not sure what you mean by that.
G. I've done a video on the USS Stark Incident ( ruclips.net/video/xxzTuYgJka8/видео.html )
An upcoming video on Operation Praying Mantis is also forthcoming. If you were present, I would love the opportunity to utilize you as a source for that video.
While it could be better, I wouldn't characterize the video as disgraceful or disrespectful. Also please bear in mind that this video was made back in 2018, when I was just getting started with this channel. I am actually in the middle of making a new video for the Oliver Hazard Perry-class right now. As i stated back in my last channel update, alot of these older videos should be re-done or updated to reflect inaccuracies and mistakes made in the past.
In closing, thank you for visiting the channel and leaving your feedback. We don't need to agree on everything in order for me to appreciate your patronage. Thanks again! -Regards, ROADBLOCK
well built ships but not capable ships at all.
I have been in a Perry in sea state with 30 meter 90+ ft. swells and 70 knot winds it was not comfortable. No repairs needed when pulled into port.
One of the SH60 blades came loose, but was tied down quickly and the bird was still airworthy.
A frigate is not a place for gear adrift. The one I was had Harpoons and SM1s.
That same ship 30 years later was sunk as a target. It did not go down quickly.
Totally disagree. Not capable of WHAT?? Or compared to WHAT?? These were VERY capable ships. Incredible platforms for ASW. With their towed array sonar and helo combo - incredible. Great short range shooter with the SM1. Excellent escort ship. Took down two oil rigs in the PG. Great platform for SEALS to operate from. They can't launch F-18's like a carrier or shoot 16 inch guns like a BB, but outside of that, I'd put my two pocket cruisers up against just about anything.
@@warrenpuckett4203 We must have been on the same one. I was driving FFG 43 in the Northern Pacific and rolled her 58 degrees just trying to find a decent course to steer in a typhoon. She was awesome!
not capable of even defending themselves let alone other ships.
@@nothanks3590 Again, totally disagree. That's a function of the CREW, not the ship.
