HMAS "Sydney" (FFG 03) was an "Adelaide"-class guided-missile frigate of the Royal Australian Navy (RAN).
 The frigate was one of six modified "Oliver Hazard Perry"-class frigate s ordered from 1977 onwards, and the third of four to be constructed in the United States of America.
 Laid down and launched in 1980, "Sydney" was named for the capital city of New South Wales, and commissioned into the RAN in 1983.

 Laid down on 7 August 1994 and launched on 13 July 1995, "Tzu I" was commissioned in service in January 1997.
 The "Cheng Kung"-class frigates have the same length as the later "Oliver Hazard Perry" frigates, but have a different weapon and electronics fit.
ROCS "Chang Chien" (張騫, PFG2-1109) is the seventh of eight Taiwanese-built "Cheng Kung"-class frigate s based on the United States "Oliver Hazard Perry" class .
 Laid down in June 1996 and launched in April 1997, "Chang Chien" was commissioned in November, 1998.
 All of these Taiwanese frigates have the length of the later "Oliver Hazard Perry"-class vessels, but have a different weapon and electronics fit.

 It is the third of eight Taiwanese-built frigates based on the "Oliver Hazard Perry"-class.
 Laid down on 4 October 1992 and launched on 27 September 1993, "Chi Kuang" was commissioned in service on 7 March 1995.
 All of these Taiwanese FFG's have the length of the later "Oliver Hazard Perry" FFG's, but have a different weapon and electronics fit.
The AN/SPS-49 is a United States Navy two-dimensional, long range air search radar built by Raytheon that can provide contact bearing and range.
 It is a primary air-search radar for numerous ships in the U.S. fleet and in Spain, Poland, Taiwan aboard "Oliver Hazard Perry"-class frigate s, Canada on its "Halifax"-class frigate s, New Zealand on its "Anzac"-class frigate s and Australia on its "Adelaide"-class frigate s and "Anzac"-class frigates.
 It formerly served in a complementary role aboard Aegis cruisers with the AN/SPY-1 but the systems are currently being removed during routine upgrade with no replacement.
USS "Elrod" (FFG-55), an "Oliver Hazard Perry"-class frigate, is a ship of the United States Navy named after Captain Henry T. Elrod (1905–1941), a Marine aviator who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his heroism in the defense of Wake Island in World War II.
The "Oliver Hazard Perry" class is a class of guided missile frigates named after the American Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry, the hero of the naval Battle of Lake Erie.
 Also known as the "Perry" or FFG-7 class, the warships were designed in the United States in the mid-1970s as general-purpose escort vessels inexpensive enough to be bought in large quantities to replace World War II-era destroyers and complement 1960s-era "Knox"-class frigate s.
 In Admiral Elmo Zumwalt's "high low fleet plan", the FFG-7s were the low capability ships with the "Spruance"-class destroyer s serving as the high capability ships.
 Intended to protect amphibious landing forces, supply and replenishment groups, and merchant convoys from aircraft and submarines, they were also later part of battleship-centred surface action groups and aircraft carrier battle groups/strike groups.
 Fifty-five ships were built in the United States: 51 for the United States Navy and four for the Royal Australian Navy (RAN).
 In addition, eight were built in Taiwan, six in Spain, and two in Australia for their navies.
 Former U.S. Navy warships of this class have been sold or donated to the navies of Bahrain, Egypt, Poland, Pakistan, Taiwan and Turkey.
USS "Oliver Hazard Perry" (FFG-7), lead ship of the "Oliver Hazard Perry" class of guided-missile frigates, was named for Oliver Hazard Perry, American naval hero, who was victorious at the 1813 Battle of Lake Erie.
 "Oliver Hazard Perry" (FFG-7) was the first ship and, as of 2015, the only ship of that name in the U.S. Navy.
 "Oliver Hazard Perry" was in service from 1977 to 1997 and was scrapped in 2005.
USS "Nicholas" (FFG-47), an "Oliver Hazard Perry"-class frigate , was the third ship of the United States Navy to be named for Major Samuel Nicholas, the first commanding officer of the United States Marines.
 A third-generation guided missile frigate of the Oliver Hazard Perry class, she was laid down as Bath Iron Works hull number 388 on 27 September 1982 and launched 23 April 1983.
 Sponsor at her commissioning there on 10 March 1984 was the same Mrs. Edward B. Tryon who sponsored DD 449 in 1942.
