USS Clark (FFG-11)

USS Clark (FFG-11)

USS "Clark" (FFG-11), fifth ship of the "Oliver Hazard Perry" class of guided-missile frigates, was named for Admiral Joseph James "Jocko" Clark (1893-1971). Ordered from Bath Iron Works on 27 February 1976 as part of the FY76 program, "Clark" was laid down on 17 July 1978, launched on 24 March 1979, and commissioned on 9 May 1980. Decommissioned and stricken on 15 March 2000, she was handed over to Poland that same day to become the Polish Navy's "Gen. K. Pułaski", after Kazimierz Pułaski, a Polish soldier who fought in the American Revolutionary War.
