Are or have there ever been "ocean escort" ships in other navies? If so, this article needs work as it's US-centric right now. -

A brief Google search (discounting WP mirrors) shows only a few photos of Russian ships on history.navy.mil that are called "ocean escorts" by the Naval History & Heritage Command. These are the "Riga" and "Petya" classes, built circa 1954-65. A look at the WP articles for these classes (which are titled "frigates") shows that these classes' Russian designation of storozhevoi korabi translates to "escort ship" or "sentry ship". So the Russians and some of their clients had/have some vessels contemporary with the USN ocean escorts that were called "escort ships" by them (depending on translation) and would be on the small end of frigates internationally. The "Riga" and "Petya" classes were about the tonnage of the USN "Claud Jones" class or RN "Blackwood" class and much smaller than all subsequent USN ocean escorts. A look through Conway's 1947-95 shows that both RN and Soviet escort-sized ships are called frigates, while the French had corvettes. I recognize there's room for interpretation here, but I'd say that only the USN had ships that were called "ocean escorts" by the owning navy.

Should not the Oliver Hazard Perry class be included in this? Although they never had the DEG hull classification, they are the direct design descendant to the Knox class.
