USS Gray DE1054

USS Gray (DE-1054) was a Knox-class destroyer escort commissioned by the United States Navy in 1970. Named after Marine Sergeant Ross Franklin Gray, a Medal of Honor recipient from World War II, the USS Gray primarily served in the Pacific Fleet during the Cold War. The ship conducted anti-submarine warfare operations, participated in training exercises, and took part in patrols and escort missions throughout the Western Pacific and Indian Ocean. After nearly two decades of service, USS Gray was decommissioned in 1991 and later transferred to the Turkish Navy, where she served as TCG Muavenet (F-250).
