Known as "corvettes" or "destroyer
escorts" in the WW II era, modern Frigates were built in large numbers to counter the Soviet
submarine threat. These highly specialized ships proved quite capable in
anti-submarine warfare, and several carried weapons systems that allowed them to
become effective anti-ship combatants.
