Product details
This is the AFV Club 1/700 US Navy Oliver Hazard Perry Class Missile Frigate Plastic Model Kit
USS Oliver Hazard Perry (FFG-7) was an American missile frigate from the Cold War period. The keel for this unit was laid in 1975, and the launch took place in September 1976. At the time of launching, the total length of the ship was 136 meters and a width of 134 meters. Full displacement reached approx. 4,100 tons, and the maximum speed was approx. 29-30 knots. The armament consisted of a single Mk.13 rocket launcher, one 76mm OTO Melara gun, a single 20mm Vulcan Phalanx set, and two 324mm triple torpedo tubes. The ship could use two Kama SH-2 Seasprite helicopters.
The USS Oliver Hazard Perry was the leading unit of the class of frigates of the same name, which totaled 69 ships. Units of this type were built for offshore and oceanic operations, as frigates intended primarily for fighting enemy submarines (ZOP). On the other hand, the possibilities of destroying air and surface targets were limited. The USS Oliver Hazard Perry (FFG-7) was built at Bath Iron Works in Bath, Maine. The US Navy was one of the first to undergo a series of very intensive at sea pre-entry tests, combined with the detonation of explosives near the ship. In 1994, the frigate took part in a BALTOPS exercise. Three years later she was withdrawn from active service. In 2005, the USS Oliver Hazard Perry (FFG-7) frigate was scrapped.
