From Wikipedia.
This is a follow up to the last post I did.
The USS Simpson, (FFG-56) was an Oliver Hazard Perry-class guided missile frigate named for Rear Admiral Rodger W. Simpson who fought in World War II.
It was commissioned 21 September 1985 and decommissioned 29 September 2015. The ship was 453 feet long and had a 45-foot beam and crew of 205.
Soon after commissioning it took part in the search and rescue effort after the Space Shuttle Challenger explosion.
