		For example, the DDG-51 Arleigh Burke Class Destroyer, the FFG-7 Oliver Hazard Perry Class Frigate and the LPD-4 Amphibious Transport Dock Ship all had problematic subsystems, for example, operating with limited communication ability or bandwidth, which affects their day-to-day operations such as on-line training and personnel activities.
		Older ships, such as the FFG-7 class which is, on average, almost 21 years old and the LPD-4 class with an average age of 37 years, may be more challenging because as the ships age, more maintenance will be required.
		Although the Navy has a plan to correct serious LPD-4 Amphibious Transport Dock ship class deficiencies, those ships that are within 5 years of decommissioning can, by law,[Footnote 16] only receive safety modifications, resulting in a wide variance in the condition of ships in the class.
