It launched four missiles at an Iranian ship back in 1988 when the Iranian ship failed to stop approaching a naval group and fired a missile (that missed) at the naval group.

As of now, the US Navy has no frigates (USS Simpson was the last). The littoral combat ships (USS Freedom and USS Independence) are leading to a new design that will be designated as the next generation of frigates coming in a decade.

It's a really interesting read.

I was stationed on her sister ship the USS Carr (FFG-52). I watched my ship get decommissioned some years after I left the Navy in 2004. My ship was decommissioned in 2012. One of the saddest moments in my life in seeing that ship go.
Thank you USS Carr.
