USS ''Jarrett'' (FFG-33), was the twenty-fifth ship of the guided missile frigates, was named for Vice Admiral Harry B. Jarrett (1898–1974). Ordered from Todd Pacific Shipyards, Los Angeles Division, San Pedro, California on 23 January 1978 as part of the FY78 program, ''Jarrett'' was laid down on 11 February 1981, launched on 17 October 1981, commissioned on 2 July 1983, and decommissioned on 21 April 2011. ''Jarrett'' was the first US Navy warship to be commanded by a woman, Commander Kathleen A. McGrath, from 18 December 1998 until 4 September 2000.〔http://www.news.navy.mil/search/display.asp?story_id=8392〕〔http://arlingtoncemetery.net/kmcgrath.htm〕 == Operation Desert Storm == On 25 February 1991, during the first Gulf War, ''Jarrett'' was a few miles from the battleship and the British destroyer . The ships were attacked by an Iraqi Silkworm missile (often referred to as the ''Seersucker''), at which time ''Missouri'' fired its SRBOC chaff. The Phalanx CIWS system on ''Jarrett'', operating in the automatic target-acquisition mode, fixed on ''Missouri''s chaff, releasing a burst of rounds. From this burst, four rounds hit ''Missouri'' which was from ''Jarrett'' at the time. There were no injuries. One of the Iraqi Silkworm missiles crashed into the sea without being intercepted. The other—heading towards ''Missouri''—was successfully intercepted by a British Sea Dart missile fired by ''Gloucester''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「USS Jarrett (FFG-33)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
