The former USS Rodney M. Davis (FFG-60), once an active guided-missile frigate of the United States Navy, was deliberately sunk during a controlled SINKEX (sinking exercise) after being struck by an AGM-84 Harpoon anti-ship missile. The event marked the vessel’s final mission following decades of service rather than a combat loss.Commissioned in 1982, the ship was an Oliver Hazard Perry-class frigate, designed during the Cold War primarily for anti-submarine warfare and escort duties. Named for Medal of Honor recipient Rodney Maxwell Davis, the frigate supported patrols, joint exercises, and maritime security operations worldwide.
