The USS Taffy is a future FFG for the US Navy. The namesake of this ship is Task Force 77, Task Group 77.4; Taffy 1,2 and 3. That story is a fantastic one and worth your time if you don't know about it. Enjoy, and information down below.
Ativation Groups
1. Phalanx CIWS gun
2. Port Torpedo Tubes
3. Starboard Torpedo Tubes
A. Be sure to move the tubes a little, you dont want to torpedo your deck!
4. 40mm Close in guns for anti-piracy and swarms
5. Navigation lights: In compliance with martitime law
6. Illumination lights
And yes, some weapons can function!
The ship is outfitted with 2 RIM 116 Rolling Ariframe Missiles, 12 Tomaha- err... I mean Cleavers. There are also 20 Interceptor missiles and 6 Mk. 46 torpedoes in triple mounts. The shis also sports countermeasures, a landing pad with a drone hangar and an advanced sensor suite. She is capable of 33 knots via advanced jump-jet propulsion, and a lightweight construction.
I hope you have as much fun as I did building thi ship. Just remember, this is a frigate that can fight like a battleship...

great ship!
May I buy the blueprints for this?
@FlyingHonda27 killin’ em with sugar!
awesome ship. I managed to take down the whole fleet, plus a couple stray a-10s with it. Good job
I saw the U.S.S. Laffy at Patriot's Point, but i didn't know it had a candy counterpart! XD
"a frigate fighting like a battleship..." last time, with advanced fire control computers and gun directors; this time, with long-range missiles?
@50Airworks you deserve credit too. Thanks for making a great hull for use!
@EternalDarkness thank you
Fantastic ship
@Geebers keep up the good work
@EternalDarkness thanks! I’ve taken inspiration from numerous Russian ships that I fight in Cold Waters, and I wanted to make an American themed design. I’m glad you like the strike capability, I set out to make an air defense oriented ffg, but it morphed into a multi-role ship
@CrashFighter05 we all gotta start somewhere;)
My first build was a boat launcher, and I still love building contraptions and prototypes for fun
@Strikefighter04 I love that story. It so uplifting and motivating
She's a beauty. Frigate is usually meant to fulfill a role of a WW2 cruiser in the modern fleet. Limited strike role, combined with good fleet air defense capability. This one is a bit more strike oriented. I like that.
Nice job! ( I can't build ships, only "things" )
My friend told me about Taffy! Awesome!
