071024	161k	22 March 2017: the Bosphorus, Istanbul, Turkey - The Perry class frigate ex-USS Duncan was the first ship of this class to be decommissioned from active service. She was stricken from U.S. Navy service on 05 January 1998. In May 1999 she was sold to the Turkish Navy. She has never entered into service, therefore she doesn’t have a Turkish name. She was used as spare part source, to keep other ships working. This practice is lovingly called cannibalization, and you can see the effects of it on the hull of ex-Duncan in above photos. TCG Inebolu, TCG Özgür and TCG Darica, three Turkish Navy tugs, towed the hull of ex-USS Duncan through Istanbul northbound, on 22 March 2017. Since there are no scrap yards along the Black Sea coast of Turkey, this journey is not going to end at a scrapyard. The markings on the hull of the former frigate are consistent with a live firing test. A few days after the passage of ex-Duncan it was announced that she was going to be used as a target during the Deniz Yıldızı annual naval exercise.
