USS "Bowen" (DE-1079/FF-1079) was a "Knox"-class frigate in the United States Navy. She was named for Vice Admiral Harold G. Bowen, Sr. (1883-1965), former chief of the Naval Research Laboratory and the Office of Naval Research, who was safely and honorably deceased at the time. Admiral Bowen's son and namesake, Harold G. Bowen, Jr., also retired as a Vice Admiral and presided over the U.S. Navy's 1969 inquiry into the Pueblo incident.

"Bowen" was decommissioned June 30, 1994 and struck from the Naval Vessel Register on January 11, 1995.

"Bowen" was disposed of through the Security Assistance Program (SAP), transferred, Foreign Assistance Act (FAA) Section 516, Southern Region Amendment, to Turkey February 22, 2002. She served there as "Akdeniz" (F-257) until 2001.
