Bearmon Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share #2 Posted February 25, 2016 I enjoy actually thinking I have them all. it gives me some satisfaction knowing it is possible to collect a whole "set". this is the case with the DEG's, there were only 6 in this class of ship they later became FFG's but for know I have the whole "set" enjoy. USS Brooke DEG 1 USS Scholfield DEG 3 USS Ramsey DEG 2 USS Talbot DEG 4 USS Richard L Page DEG 5 USS Julius A Furer DEG 6 of course now I have to get all the FFG class of these ships patches.

sigsaye Posted February 25, 2016 Share #4 Posted February 25, 2016 I remember the first 3 were out of San Diego and Pearl. I went aboard USS Bradley (FF-1041)a month after the "Name Change" from DE yo FF. The "Brooke" class was exactly the same shop with the exception that the DEG had the aft 5 in, 38 cal replaced with a missile launcher. I remember steaming with Schofield often, but Brooke always seemed to be broke down. We called her the USS "Broke". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvage Sailor Posted February 25, 2016 Share #5 Posted February 25, 2016 Aloha Bearmon, Thanks for posting the Brooke class guided missile escorts, they were on my 'i'll get around to it' list. Here are the other ones you need for the set. If anyone has others for these six ships, please post them for us. USS BROOKE DEG/FFG-1 Completely different shape on the FFG-1 patch USS RAMSEY DEG/FFG-2 - the FFG patch is a Swiss-Tex circa 1975. They were ordered cellophane wrapped in a carton without the Swiss-Tex printing on the cards (same size card and package as the printed products) USS SCHOFIELD DEG/FFG-3 USS TALBOT DEG/FFG-4 - The cellophane wrapped FFG-4 is also a 1975 Swiss-Tex sold by the ships' store The best of the best Atlantic Fleet patch is harder to find USS RICHARD L. PAGE DEG/FFG-5 The fit to fight patch is also harder to find and lastly USS JULIUS A. FURER DEG/FFG-6 There are many knock offs of the "FFG-6" patch but the original 1975 ships' patch was "FF-6" with no "G" Good Hunting patch collectors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sigsaye Posted February 26, 2016 Share #6 Posted February 26, 2016 and lastly USS JULIUS A. FURER DEG/FFG-6 There are many knock offs of the "FFG-6" patch but the original 1975 ships' patch was "FF-6" with no "G" . Sometimes, patches just "Changr". When I was on USS Henry B. Wildon, DDG-7, the background of the ships patch just CHANGED. No reason, the manufacturer just made a change. What was really interesting was that at the same time, we got a shipment of "Zippo" ships belt buckles at about the same time. They were muss stamped to read USS Henry B. Wilson DOG-7! They flew off the shelves! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvage Sailor Posted April 30, 2017 Share #11 Posted April 30, 2017 The FFG-7 Oliver Hazard Perry class of Gas Turbine Guided Missile Frigates were the next step in the evolution of the USN during the 1970's Cold War era. They came online intended to be a class of lighter and less expensive escort ships to complement the other new class being commissioned, the Spruance class destroyers. There were 51 Perry frigates commissioned between 1977 and 1989, the last going out of service in 2015.
