Between the late 1970s and the early 1990s, Bath Iron Works began a busy program of US Naval construction. BIW was the lead yard for the Oliver Hazard Perry class of frigates, and also built nine of the Ticonderoga class of guided missile destroyers. Many are still serving with the Fleet, while a number of retired Perry class FFGs are active with allied navies worldwide.
