Albania is negotiating for two US frigates


December 28, 2013

The frigate USS Ingraham (FFG-61) Class Oliver-Hazard-Perry (photo), The Albanian government is reportedly negotiating with the United States government to acquire 2 frigates by U.S. Navy.

At present not entirely clear whether it's frigates already retired or still in operating the U.S. Navy. The ship type has not been reported, but by historical information, can assume that this is the class ship, Oliver-Hazard-Perry.

This type of vessel is in operation since 1977 and US Navy has built 77 units. The United States is expected to put up for sale to third countries a total of 28 warships.

But sill no any Albanian sources made the decision. The bugged which passed yesterday by the Albanian parliament, for the Army, has not any prevision or founds both for navy and Air fighters, to be approved officially.
