About the Knox-class frigates:

The U.S. Navy’s Knox-class frigates, including USS Knox and USS Robert E. Peary, were developed in the 1960s as anti-submarine escort ships. They featured long hulls, ASROC launchers, a 127 mm gun, and a hangar for LAMPS helicopters. Many vessels were later transferred to allied navies such as those of Taiwan, Thailand, and Turkey.
