USS John L. Hall (FFG-32)

USS "John L. Hall" (FFG-32), twenty-fourth ship of the "Oliver Hazard Perry" class of guided-missile frigates, was named for Admiral John L. Hall, Jr. (1891–1978).

Ordered from Bath Iron Works, Bath, ME on 23 January 1978 as part of the FY78 program, "John L. Hall" was laid down on 5 January 1981, launched on 24 July 1981, and commissioned on 26 June 1982.

On August 28, 2005, she sailed from her home port, NS Pascagoula, Mississippi, along with sister ship "Stephen W. Groves" under threat from Hurricane Katrina.

As of 2007, she remains active, commanded by Commander Augustus P. Bennet, assigned to Destroyer Squadron 14, and homeported at NAVSTA Mayport, Florida. In August 2008, while underway to avoid Tropical Storm Fay, the scheduled change of command occurred with Commander Derek Lavane assuming command of the vessel.

"John L. Hall" (FFG-32) is the first ship of that name in the US Navy.
