I don't know when that picture appeared in MDN, but the picture itself is not recent.

The ships, near to far, are (I think) a flight 3 US Navy Oliver Hazard Perry (OHP) frigate, a Japanese Asagiri class destroyer, a US Navy Arleigh Burke destroyer, and a US Navy Kitty Hawk class CV. The Asagiri class and the Burke class ships are still in use, but the last US OHP was decommissioned in late 2015, so this image has to be from before that date. But the oldest ship present is the CV, and the last Kitty Hawk class CV was decommissioned in 2009, so the picture has to be 2009 or before.

12 Perry's are still in mothballs, and there has been recent discussion of bringing a few (6'ish) out of mothball to support the needs of the Navy. What is a Navy without Frigates or Corvettes?

T!
