During the Cold War, the U.S. Navy went through numerous renamings of cruiser-like ship types, eventually stabilizing in 1975, but having gone through calling them "frigates" much larger than today's ocean escort frigates, and [[destroyer leader]]s. [[Burke-class]] destroyers operational today are as large, or larger, than several of these classes.

During the Cold War, the U.S. Navy went through numerous renamings of cruiser-like ship types, eventually stabilizing in 1975, but having gone through calling them "frigates" much larger than today's ocean escort frigates, and destroyer leaders. Burke-class destroyers operational today are as large, or larger, than several of these classes.
