<p>The U.S. Navy frigate USS <i>Rathburne</i> (FF-1057) underway in the Pacific Ocean.<br></p>
Compared to her original equipment when commissioned in 1970, <i>Rathburne</i> received the helicopter hangar aft, the Mk 25 BPDMS <i>Sea Sparrow</i>-launcher, and a QE-82 satellite antenna on top of the hangar when this photo was taken, circa 1980 (not in 1990 as stated). Later, <i>Rathburne</i> received the heightened bow and a Phalanx CIWS in place of the BPDMS-launcher.
