Historical Information
The Knox class was designed as a large ocean escort centered on anti-submarine warfare. Originally designated destroyer escorts and redesignated frigates in 1975, the ships used long-range sonar, ASROC, torpedoes, and embarked helicopters to protect convoys and naval task groups. The class served throughout the Cold War, including Vietnam-era operations and evacuation support, before leaving U.S. service in the 1990s.
