Statistically speaking, was a Sea Air Mariner being assigned to an FFG one of the rarest Navy Experiences ever?

1994 DOD Manpower Requirement Reports only 900 SAM in the Navy of 500,000 Personnel. There were 3000 Units a SAM could be assigned. Of those 3000 Units only 16 FFGs would even have the possibility for a SAM assigned a billet. Statistically it would be extreme rare assignment. I am still looking for another SAM on a FFG.

I was a SAM on a FFG as an OS. Can’t really find any information about the program.

Shipmate! Your the first SAM I ec r met assigned a FFG. What ship? What years? I have a lot of information on the program.

Started in 84 and went to USS Gray FF-1054 then the Wadsworth FFG-9 after that. Being a SAM always got some strange looks. Would love to know what you’ve found out.

Are you still tracking this? I want to send you some information about the SAM program and the FF’S AND FFG’S from DOD reports and get your feedback. I think you will find it intriguing. Wasn’t the Wadsworth in San Diego? I was on the Sides and Copeland. PO3 Todd Stokes
