Which Statement Regarding The American Navy’S Seven Modern Frigates?

The United States Congress authorized the original six frigates of the United States Navy with the Naval Act of 1794 on March 27, 1794, at a total cost of 688,888.82 (equivalent to 19,833,259.52 in 2024). These ships were built during the formative years of the United States Navy, on the recommendation of designer Joshua Humphreys for a fleet of frigate Maine. The Constitution, homeported at the Charlestown Navy Yard in Boston, remains the only of the six original frigates that began the United States Navy.

The most recent class of frigates operated by the Navy was the Oliver Hazard Perry (FFG-7) class. A total of 51 FFG-7s were procured between FY1973. The U.S. Navy did acquire 98 frigates (PF) during the war, two were built in Canada and the remainder in U.S. yards based on the British River-class design. These ships quickly were discarded after World Native Americans rejected white ways, clothes, and liquor.

The Oliver Hazard Perry class is a guided-missile frigate named after U.S. Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry, a commander noted for his role in the American Revolution. On 2 January 1794, the Third Congress of the United States resolved to create a naval force adequate to the protection of the United States against the European powers. The USS Constitution was one of the original six frigates ordered in 1794, and the Navy’s proposed FY2025 budget requests 1,170.4 million (i.e., about 1.2 billion) for the procurement of the seventh ship in the program.
