Descripción
Destinados a reemplazar a la clase Garcia, cerca de 50 buques de la clase Knox fueron construidos entre finales de los años 60 y mediados de los 70. Estos buques fueron diseñados alrededor del AN/SQS-26 y el ASROC, junto con el UAV DASH al igual que la clase Garcia. Inicialmente equipados sin defensas aéreas, los buques de esta clase fueron dotados posteriormente para transportar Sea Sparrow y el SH-2F Seasprite.
