A. DD/DDG - DESTROYER/GUIDED-MISSILE DESTROYER - EXCELLENT MULTIPURPOSE SHIPS THAT ARE USEFUL IN ALMOST ANY KIND OF NAVAL OPERATION. THEY ARE FAST SHIPS WITH A VARIETY OF ARMAMENT, BUT LITTLE OR NO ARMOR. FOR PROTECTION, THEY DEPEND ON THEIR SPEED AND MOBILITY. PRINCIPAL MISSION IS TO OPERATE OFFENSIVELY AND DEFENSIVELY AGAINST SUBMARINES AND SURFACE SHIPS, AND TO TAKE DEFENSIVE ACTION AGAINST AIR ATTACKS. THEY ALSO PROVIDE GUNFIRE SUPPORT FOR AMPHIBIOUS ASSAULTS; AND PERFORM PATROL, SEARCH AND RESCUE MISSIONS. THEY ALSO HAVE FULL HELICOPTER FACILITIES TO ACCOMMODATE THE LIGHT AIRBORNE MULTIPURPOSE SYSTEM (LAMPS) SH-2 HELICOPTER.

B. FF/FFG - FRIGATE/GUIDED-MISSILE FRIGATE - USED FOR OPEN- OCEAN ESCORT AND PATROL. FRIGATES RESEMBLE DESTROYERS IN APPEARANCE, BUT ARE SLOWER, HAVE ONLY A SINGLE SCREW, AND CARRY LESS ARMAMENT. THEY CAN CARRY ONE OR TWO LAMPS MK 1 SH-2 HELICOPTERS.

C. CG/CGN - GUIDED-MISSILE CRUISER/GUIDED-MISSILE CRUISER NUCLEAR - MEDIUM-SIZED, GENERAL UTILITY SHIPS. THEY HAVE A LARGE CRUISING RANGE AND ARE CAPABLE OF HIGH SPEEDS (OVER 30 KNOTS).

E. AOE - FAST COMBAT SUPPORT SHIP - THE LARGEST AND MOST POWERFUL AUXILIARY SHIP IN THE NAVY. UNLIKE OTHER REPLENISHMENT SHIPS, THE AOE IS DESIGNED TO OPERATE AS AN INTEGRAL FORCE RATHER THAN A UNIT OF AN UNDERWAY REPLENISHMENT GROUP. IT IS A MULTIPLE PRODUCTS SHIP (MISSILES, FUEL, AMMUNITION, AND GENERAL CARGO) THAT HAS A CARGO-FUEL CAPACITY GREATER THAN THAT OF OUR LARGEST FLEET OILERS, PLUS A HOLD CAPACITY EQUAL TO THE LARGEST AMMUNITION SHIP.
