USS Brewton (FF-1086) was a {{sclass-|Knox|frigate}} in service with the United States Navy and the first ship of her name. Design and descriptionThe Knox class design was derived from the {{sclass-|Brooke|frigate}} modified to extend range and without a long-range missile system. The ships had an overall length of {{convert|438|ft|m|1}}, a beam of {{convert|47|ft|m|1}} and a draft of {{convert|25|ft|m|1}}. They displaced {{convert|4066|LT|t}} at full load. Their crew consisted of 13 officers and 211 enlisted men.[1] The ships were equipped with one Westinghouse geared steam turbine that drove the single propeller shaft. The turbine was designed to produce {{convert|35000|shp|lk=in}}, using steam provided by 2 C-E boilers, to reach the designed speed of {{convert|27|kn|lk=in}}. The Knox class had a range of {{convert|4500|nmi|lk=in}} at a speed of {{convert|20|kn}}.[2] The Knox-class ships were armed with a 5"/54 caliber Mark 42 gun forward and a single 3"/50 caliber gun aft. They mounted an eight-round ASROC launcher between the 5-inch (127 mm) gun and the bridge. Close-range anti-submarine defense was provided by two twin {{convert|12.75|in|adj=on}} Mk 32 torpedo tubes. The ships were equipped with a torpedo-carrying DASH drone helicopter; its telescoping hangar and landing pad were positioned amidships aft of the mack. Beginning in the 1970s, the DASH was replaced by a SH-2 Seasprite LAMPS I helicopter and the hangar and landing deck were accordingly enlarged. Most ships also had the 3-inch (76 mm) gun replaced by an eight-cell BPDMS missile launcher in the early 1970s.[3] Construction and careerBrewton was launched 24 July 1971 and commissioned on 8 July 1972 with Commander John W. Kinnier in command, and assigned to Destroyer Squadron 33 at Pearl Harbor. She was decommissioned on 2 July 1992 at Naval Station Pearl Harbor after over 20 years of service, and struck from the Naval Register on 11 January 1995. On 29 September 1999, she was sold to Taiwan under the Security Assistance Program, where she was renamed ROCS Fong Yang (FFG-933). She is currently in active service. Tomb of the UnknownThe body of the Vietnam Unknown Soldier was transported aboard Brewton to Naval Air Station Alameda, California in May 1984. The remains were then sent to Travis Air Force Base, California, 24 May. The Vietnam Unknown arrived at Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland, the next day. Ship Awards
