A Warship Built for the Cold War
USS Rodney M. Davis (FFG-60) was an Oliver Hazard Perry-class frigate, a class of ships developed during the Cold War to address growing concerns about submarine threats and the need for cost-effective surface combatants. Commissioned in 1982, the ship was named in honor of Marine Corps Captain Rodney Maxwell Davis, who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for actions during the Vietnam War.
