There is a list DE's at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_destroyer_escorts_of_the_United_States_Navy
The Bayntun was DE 1, built in US and leased to Briton. Could be it or not.

Thanks for your help everyone. I just checked online for the ships deployment history, and it is definitely the USS Brooke FFG-1. Again, thanks

She is a middle frigate , correct ? ( FFG )

I think she may be a GP Frigate (General Purpose)!

Looks like the Mark 1 Mod 0 Terrier beam riding missle system back aft. That was good for a paint mod every time we practiced!😜

I believe it's the first DL Destroyer Leader DL1. The first of this class.

Glad to see you got your answer, but I have another question. Why isn't she flying the US Flag? There appears to be some flag on her starboard flag halyard, but I don't recognize it.

Pretty sure it is the USS Brooke DEG 1. We operated with her in 2972.

USS Gyatt (DDG-1). A Gearing class destroyer commisssioned on 2 July 1945 as DD-712. Converted to the world's first guided missile destroyer in the 1950s.
