The USS Farragut was a coontz class missile destroyer of multirole capabilities. Her armament included a twin terrier missile launcher on the fan tail, torpedoe launchers port and starboard amidships, as well as an asroc launch system, and a 5-54 gun
forward. This gave her surface to surface, surface to air, as well as anti submarine warfare capabilities making her quite versatile with an ability to take on a variety of mission situations. The USS Farragut was a very good ship and I am proud to have served aboard her. To the best of my knowledge she was decomissioned in 1989.
