USS Wadsworth (FFG-9)
USS Wadsworth (FFG-9), third ship of the Oliver Hazard Perry class of guided-missile frigates, was named for Commodore Alexander Scammel Wadsworth (1790-1851). Ordered from Todd Shipyards, San Pedro, CA on 27 February 1976 as part of the FY75 program, Wadsworth was laid down 13 July 1977, launched 29 July 1978, and commissioned 28 February 1980. Decommissioned 28 June 2002, Wadsworth was handed over to Poland the same day and commissioned as that nation's ORP Naczelnik Tadeusz Kosciuszko, after a Polish soldier who fought in the American Revolution. She was formally stricken 23 July 2002.
There have been two other US Navy ships named Wadsworth, USS Wadsworth (DD-60)[?] and USS Wadsworth (DD-516)[?].
