Navy Frigate Gets its First Taste of Battle in the Persian Gulf ⛴ Combat Ships | Smithsonian Channel
Description:
An Iranian gunship fires at a US Navy convoy, only for the USS Simpson, an FFG-7 class frigate, to return fire. That April of 1988 was the first time that this class of frigate was tested in battle–and it passed with flying colors. A great accomplishment given that the FFG-7 frigate was the first ship designed by computer–a true game changer in naval warfare. #CombatShips #SmithsonianChannel Paramount+ is here!
