F-22 is the type 53H3 class Light frigte its not an corvette.
Oliver hazard perry is a dying class of American Frigates and America is not using it now. only few of them is working in US navy as reserve force america is depending on Arleigh Burke class of destroyers and working on Zumwalt class destroyer
Do your homework first, please
The U.S. Navy commissioned 51 FFG-7 class frigates between 1977 and 1989. As of today, 29 long-hull Oliver Hazard Perry-class frigates remain active in USN service (of which 9 in active naval reserve i.e. on active duty but manned by reservists).
Of the ones taken out of USN service
3 scrapped
2 stricken (stored in Bremerton)
16 transferred to foreign navies:
* Bahrain, 1 (active)
* Poland, 2 (all active)
* Egypt, 4 (all active)
* Turkey, 9 (8 active, 1 parts hull)
1 decommissioned, to be transferred in 2010 (Pakistan)
Four of six Australian OHPs remain in RAN service.
Six of six Spanish OHPs remain in SPS service.
Eight of eight Taiwanese OHPs remain in ROCS service
29+15+4+6+8=62 active ships.
Only 3 Zumwalt destroyers will be built and production of DDG 51 will resume after these are built.
DDG 51:
Building, 5
Completed, 57
Active, 56
Planned, 70
DDG-1000
Originally 32 ships were planned for the class, but this was progressively cut down to 2, with 3 currently to be built.
