USS Canon (PG-90)

USS Canon (PG-90) was an Asheville-class gunboat commissioned by the United States Navy in 1968. Designed for patrol and interdiction missions, she was deployed to Vietnam, where she provided naval gunfire support and coastal surveillance during the Vietnam War. The ship's shallow draft and high speed made her well-suited for operations in rivers and coastal waters. After her service in Vietnam, USS Canon continued patrolling and training missions until she was decommissioned in 1977 and later transferred to the Nationalist Navy of Uruguay.
