U.S. Navy warships, designed for high-intensity war against a major opponent, when used for maritime security duties are just too menacing in regions sensitive to sovereign rights and may not always be the most politically acceptable means for duty against mari­time criminals and terrorists.
Navy officials believe that the Navy, while contributing to maritime homeland security operations, should remain primarily focused on deploying naval forces overseas to provide a forward defense against threats to the United States.

 USN Ships -- by Hull Number: PF -- Patrol Escorts, or Frigates
Ten "River" class anti-submarine ships (originally called "corvettes" and later "frigates"), then on order in a Canadian shipyard for the British Royal Navy, were transferred to the U.S. Navy in February 1942.
On 15 April 1943, the U.S. Navy changed the classification of the first two Canadian-built ships, and of all those planned for construction in the United States, to "patrol escort", or "frigate", with numbers assigned in a newly-established PF series.
Note on the "frigate" classification: The U.S. Navy has used the term "frigate" for two other types of modern warship, one while the PF designation was still nominally in use.

 Naming Ships - Navy Ships
While the Navy has attempted to be systematic in naming its ships, in recent years it seems there has been a complete breakdown in any attempt to sustain a systematic practice in the name categories for ship types.
But as the 600-ship Navy has evolved into the 300-ship Navy, it would seem that a presumption has arisen that one should be on a first-name basis with each ship of the fleet, and that no further introductions should be required.
As the Navy is increasingly called upon to operate in a joint environment, the services's increasingly confusing ship nomenclature will only compound interoperability problems [indeed, one may wonder how many Army and Air Force personnel are aware that there is, in principle, some system by which the Navy names its various ships].

Apr 20 2003, 08:06 PM A Corvette and a Frigate are technically the same thing, however, a frigate tends to have more armament, and be more common.
It's role in the U.S. Navy is as a anti submarine support craft, the support of Marines and other landing forces with VTOL aircraft like the Harrier and Helicopters, light attack duties against land based targets and as a search and rescue platform.
A new class of ship designed to fill this role exactly is on the books with the U.S. Navy but is still many years away.
