Developed from the earlier Bronstein Class, the ten
ships of the Garcia Class were intended solely for ASW operations. The
ships exceeded some of the world's destroyers in size and ASW
capability, but were designated as frigates because of their single
propeller shaft and limited speed. Originally classified as destroyer
escorts (DE), they were reclassified as frigates on June 30th 1975. All
but two of these ships were later fitted to operate LAMPS helicopters.
Most of the ships were built with two Mk-25 torpedo tubes built into
their transom for launching wire-guided ASW torpedoes, but the torpedoes
were removed from the earlier ships and the tubes deleted in the later
ships
