It was a class design deficiency that occurred on other frigates. In January 1984, ''Duncan'' was transferred to the United States Navy Reserve Fleet and Selected Reserve (SELRES) members provided for a portion of the ship's manning. ''Duncan'' and her crew were awarded the Battle Effectiveness Award five times for 18 month time periods ranging from July 1981 to June 1983 and July 1986 to December 1990.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Navy Unit Awards )〕 ''Duncan'' participated in Port Hueneme Harbor Days in October 1992.

''Duncan'' towed their boat to safety in Manta, Ecuador.
