December 31, 2012 U.S. House of Representatives not only saved the United States from the "fiscal cliff", but, and, among other things, approved the Naval Vessel Transfer Act of 2012. The document says the upcoming transfer to foreign countries 10 are planned to be concluded from the U.S. Navy frigate type Oliver Hazard Perry.

Mexico - frigates FFG 38 Curts and FFG 41 McClusky;

Turkey - frigates FFG 40 Halyburton and FFG 43 Thach;

Thailand - the frigates F FG 46 Rentz and FFG 48 Vandergrift;

Taiwan - frigates FFG 50 Taylor, FFG 51 Gary, FFG 52 Carr and FFG 55 Elrod.

Ships are scheduled for removal from the U.S. Navy in 2013-2014, to be transferred at no cost, even though the recipient countries and pay for the repair and sale preparation, and training of personnel. However January 5, 2013 the U.S. Senate approving the Naval Vessel Transfer Act of 2012 with regard to the transfer of eight ships, at the same time voted against the transfer of frigates FFG 40 Halyburton and FFG 43 Thach Turkey . Dissatisfaction with U.S. senators called the deterioration of the current Turkish government with Israel, as well as the conflict between Turkey and Cyprus on the limit of the maritime economic zone. Against the transfer of Turkish frigates were actively fighting progrecheskie lobbies led by the Hellenic American Leadership Council. Of the 51 introduced in the U.S. Navy from 1977 to 1989, the frigate type Oliver Hazard Perry now in the ranks of the U.S. Navy left 22 ships to be written off in the next few years . Earlier in 1994 was transferred to foreign navies 17 frigates of this type - the nine Turkish (including one as a source of spare parts), four to Egypt, Poland, two, one and one to Bahrain to Pakistan.
