USS Oliver Hazard Perry (FFG-7), lead ship of the Oliver Hazard Perry-class frigate of guided-missile frigates, was named for Oliver Hazard Perry, American naval hero, who was victorious at the 1813 Battle of Lake Erie. Ordered from Bath Iron Works on 30 October 1973 as part of the FY73 program, Oliver Hazard Perry was laid down on 12 June 1975, launched on 25 September 1976, and commissioned on 17 December 1977. She was ordered as PFG-109 but was redesignated as FFG-7 in the 1975 fleet designation realignment on 1 June 1975, before she was laid down. Decommissioned on 20 February 1997, in Mayport, FL under the last Commanding Officer, CDR Robert F. Holman, USNR. Stricken on 3 May 1999, Oliver Hazard Perry was scrapped in December 2005 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Oliver Hazard Perry (FFG-7) was the first ship of that name in the U.S. Navy.During her launch ceremony on 25 September 1976, the ship found herself briefly stuck on the slip-way. Film star John Wayne appeared from the crowd of watching dignitaries, climbed the launch ceremony platform, and gave the bow of the frigate - which was by this time starting to move slightly - a shove with one hand, and so John Wayne famously appeared to have 'pushed' a US warship down her slip-way.
