Revision as of 17:33, 15 April 2008



The Asheville class gunboats were a class of small military ships built for the United States Navy in response to the Cuban Missile Crisis. The class is named for a city in western North Carolina and the seat of Buncombe County. Most Asheville-class gunboats have since been donated to museums, scheduled for scrapping, or transferred to the Greek, Turkish, Colombian and South Korean Navies. The exceptions are the USS Chehalis (PGM-94) and USS Grand Rapids (PGM-92), which are operated by the Naval Surface Warfare Center.[1]

The Asheville-class gunboats were originally designated PGM motor gunboats, but were reclassified in 1967 as PG patrol combatant ships. [2]

History

Ships

A total of 17 Asheville-class gunboats were built between 1966 and 1971.

Original commission

This is a list of the Asheville-class gunboats commissioned for the U.S. Navy. [3] [4]

Hellenic Navy

Two of the ships were transferred to the navy of Greece; both ships were in reserve from April 1977 before being refitted and transferred. The gas-turbine propulsion engines were removed prior to transfer and the ships were reclassified as coastal patrol craft.

Colombian National Armada

Turkish Navy

Republic of Korea Navy
