USS Carr (FFG-52) was an Oliver Hazard Perry-class guided-missile frigate of the United States Navy, commissioned on 27 July 1985. Named in honor of Gunner’s Mate Paul H. Carr, a World War II hero, the ship served primarily in anti-submarine and escort roles during the latter years of the Cold War and into the post-Cold War period. USS Carr participated in various multinational exercises, maritime security operations, and deployments to the Mediterranean, Caribbean, and Middle East. The frigate was decommissioned on 13 March 2013, concluding nearly 28 years of distinguished service.
