USS OH PERRY FFG-7

USS Oliver Hazard Perry (FFG-7) was the lead ship of the Oliver Hazard Perry-class guided-missile frigates, commissioned into the United States Navy on December 17, 1977. Named after the War of 1812 naval hero Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry, FFG-7 served as a multi-role escort, specializing in anti-air, anti-surface, and anti-submarine warfare. Throughout her career, she participated in numerous deployments, including operations in the Mediterranean, Atlantic, and Persian Gulf, supporting U.S. interests and NATO missions. After over two decades of distinguished service, USS Oliver Hazard Perry was decommissioned on September 20, 1997, marking the end of an era for her class but leaving a lasting legacy in naval history.
