USS McInerney (FFG 8)

USS McInerney (FFG-8) was an Oliver Hazard Perry-class guided-missile frigate of the United States Navy, commissioned in 1979. Named after Vice Admiral Francis X. McInerney, the ship served primarily in anti-submarine warfare roles and participated in multiple operations, including drug interdiction patrols in the Caribbean and support for Middle East operations. During its service, USS McInerney was notable for being the first ship of its class to be equipped with the SH-60B Seahawk helicopter. After over 30 years of active service, the frigate was decommissioned in 2010 and transferred to the Pakistan Navy, where it was renamed PNS Alamgir (F-260).
