    USS Jarrett (FFG-33), was the twenty-fifth ship of the Oliver Hazard Perry-class guided-missile frigates, was named for Vice Admiral Harry B. Jarrett (1898–1974).
    Ordered from Todd Pacific Shipyards, San Pedro, California on 23 January 1978 as part of the FY78 program, Jarrett was laid down on 11 February 1981, launched on 17 October 1981, commissioned on 2 July 1983, and decommissioned on 21 April 2011.....snip~

    There is Strike Group 3 of the Stennis Carrier group attached to 5th fleet.

    I served on this ship a few years ago... it's the former USS-Cook (FF-1083) though now it's the ROCN's FFG-936 HaiYang .
    It's not a bad ship but after 40 years in service it's not hard to see why life on it was hell.... though luckily serving as a radarmen you avoid some of the worst of it...

    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.
