USS Davidson (FF-1045)

USS "Davidson" (FF-1045) was a "Garcis"-class destroyer escort, and later a frigate, in the United States Navy. She was named for Vice Admiral Lyal A. Davidson.

"Davidson" was commissioned on 7 December 1965 in Charleston, South Carolina. She was homeported in Pearl Harbor. She deployed to the Western Pacific in support of the Vietnam War. She was redesignated, along with the rest of her class, as FF-1045 in 1975.

On 8 December 1988, "Davidson" was decommissioned. She was transferred to Brazil and commissioned 25 July 1989 as "Paraiba" (D28). She was decommissioned from the Brazilian Navy on 26 July 2002.

"Davidson" sank as she was being towed to India to be scrapped, along with the former "Sample".
