USS Rentz is an Oliver Hazard Perry-class of guided missile frigate.  On 5 November 1986, Rentz, accompanied by two other ships was made an historic visit to China—the first US Naval visit to China since 1949. In July 1987, Rentz was sent to the Persian Gulf as part of Operation Earnest Will. Rentz provided missile security escort for the North Persian Gulf Battlegroup destroyers during their transit in and out of the Straits of Hormuz en route to an operation code name "Nimble Archer" involving naval gun bombardment and SEAL Team take over of an abandoned oil rig being used by Iranian evolutionary Guards to stage attacks on Persian Gulf shipping.
