ex-USN Gearings in PN service

[Penguin]

Yes slightly bigger ships are a must for our navy that is as you can see is running some old ships - and with limited resources

REPEAT AFTER ME <gazes>: The PN isn't operatiing ex-USN Gearings anymore (and hasn't for many years).

But hopefully the 6 OHP and 4 more F22P would help the cause of upgrading , considering India is making aircraft carriers locally so it a big game changer in region

Bhai what is wrong with you? We are not operating any Gearings period!!!!!

I suppose that old ship means EX UK Type 21.

PN did not replace ex-USN Gearings they returned them back.

With due repsects -- Gearings were retired from PN service and some of them were sunk as targets. None of them were given back to US as they outright transfers, as a far as I know.

However, the Brooks/Garcia combo was returned back to US as they were leased from USN.
