USS Hawes (FFG-53) Ship's Crest Mug

USS Hawes (FFG-53) was an Oliver Hazard Perry-class guided-missile frigate that served in the United States Navy from 1985 to 2005. Named for Richard Cheney Hawes, she was a versatile surface combatant that conducted anti-submarine warfare, surface warfare, and anti-ship missile defense across global deployments. Oliver Hazard Perry-class frigates were the workhorses of the Cold War and post-Cold War surface fleet, and Hawes served with distinction throughout her twenty years of service. This mug honors her crew and legacy.
