Lawmakers and Navy leaders, faced with diminishing budgets, made the decision to sell most frigates to foreign navies as the ships&#8217; hulls hit their three-decade lifespan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The service will bid farewell to its remaining FFGs \u2014 McClusky, Vandegrift, Taylor, Gary, Elrod, Simpson, Samuel B. Roberts, Kauffman, Rodney M. Davis and Ingraham \u2013 this year. McClusky is scheduled to be decommissioned on Jan. 14. Congress on Dec. 18 authorized that frigate and Curts to be transferred to Mexico. The frigates Taylor, Gary, Carr, decommissioned on March 15, 2013, and Elrod will go to Taiwan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kauffman will be the last to be decommissioned, in October, marking the first time in more than 70 years that the fleet will be without a frigate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cmdr. Michael Concannon in September became Kauffman&#8217;s 18th skipper in preparation for this final float. After enlisting in the Navy <span style=\"color: #545454;\"><span style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\">as a<\/span><\/span> machinist&#8217;s mate in 1988, he received his commission from The Citadel in 1996. Concannon will lead Kauffman&#8217;s 17 officers and 198 sailors on this final deployment to Central and South America for a Counter Transnational Organized Crime\/Counter Illicit Trafficking mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Naval Surface Force Atlantic officials said the deployment was delayed due to weather conditions, but could not provide specifics. The forecast for Wednesday is partly sunny with low winds and temperatures near 50 degrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The snowstorm that hit the mid-Atlantic Tuesday has not changed the return time for the cruiser Leyte Gulf, still set for Wednesday. However, that ship&#8217;s return could also be affected, officials said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Kauffman deploys from Naval Station Norfolk, Va., on  Thursday, the last cruise for a Navy frigate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":56305,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":65,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[12,65],"tags":[],"coauthors":[1012],"class_list":["post-27566","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-your-navy"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"XN46L2LCKVDVDK2EXXJDCB2NDM","arc_canonical_url":"\/news\/your-navy\/2015\/01\/05\/kauffman-to-deploy-thursday-the-last-frigate-cruise\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Kauffman to deploy Thursday, the last frigate cruise - Navy Times<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The Kauffman deploys from Naval Station Norfolk, Va., on Thursday, the last cruise for a Navy frigate.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Kauffman to deploy Thursday, the last frigate cruise\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Kauffman deploys from Naval Station Norfolk, Va., on Thursday, the last cruise for a Navy frigate.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/navytimes\/news\/your-navy\/2015\/01\/05\/kauffman-to-deploy-thursday-the-last-frigate-cruise\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Navy Times\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2015-01-05T20:57:55+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-08-08T19:20:48+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Lance M.
