They were built under a cloud of controversy, with their very light gun armament and lack of redundancy and duplicated systems in event of ship being hit. They were regarded by the Reagan administration and Secretary John Lehman as not part of the 500-ship navy plan but ultimately proved useful as anti-submarine ships if fitted to carry Seahawks and towed arrays and into the 21st Century as low-grade patrol ships making up the numbers in a USN desperately short of escorts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eHighly detailed and accurate superstructure\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eTwo SH-60 anti-submarine helicopters\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eFull hull or waterline option\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eFinely engraved mast and radars\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ut\"\u003eIncludes: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ut\"\u003ePlastic sprues\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ut\"\u003e Waterslide decals\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eAustralian forces insignias included\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003ePlease note glue and paint are not included in this kit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Id: ACA-\u003c\/strong\u003e14102\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sabes Hobby House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42451073957911,"sku":"ACA-14102","price":64.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0746\/5369\/6023\/files\/14102_1.jpg?v=1774254706","url":"https:\/\/sabeshobbyhouse.com.au\/products\/academy-aca-14102-1-350-scale-uss-oliver-hazard-perry-ffg-7-u-s-navy-guided-missile-frigate-plastic-model-kit-with-australian-decals","provider":"Sabes Hobby House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
