The Allende class is a series of four anti-submarine frigates used by the Mexican Navy. Allende-class frigates are former United States Navy Knox-class-ships which were acquired beginning in 1997. They form the Mexican Gulf Fleet of the Mexican Navy. They are used for anti-submarine and offshore patrol duties. All four ships were taken out of service by 2016 and one was sunk as an artificial reef in 2022. In 2024, it was announced the other three hulls would be donated for use as artificial reefs.
