I've always liked these rather elegant escorts, notable for their turn in Red Storm Rising and they shall be put into service on the high seas for the convoys of the USN with great relish; more excellence for TCW, and even for Praying Mantis.
Class by class, you continue to fill the seas with great Cold War era vessels.
I'm currently in a state of pretending the 1975 ship reclassification did not occur, so DE-1052 all the way!
(There is a certain appeal to the neat delineations of cruisers, frigates, destroyers and escorts; as well as the 1950s and 1960s being a most interesting time for developments at sea. I have been doing a great deal of snooping and thinking on these areas lately; particularly in regards to cruiser and battleship conversion.)
