USS Jack Williams (FFG-24), sixteenth ship of the Oliver Hazard Perry class of guided-missile frigates, was named for Pharmacist's Mate Second Class Jack Williams, who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his heroism in the battle of Iwo Jima. Ordered from Bath Iron Works on 28 February 1977 as part of the FY77 program, Jack Williams was laid down on 25 February 1980; launched on 30 August 1980; and commissioned on 19 September 1981.

1981-1996

Decommissioned and stricken on 13 September 1996, she was transferred to Bahrain the same day as that nation's Sabha (90). Jack Williams (FFG-24) was the first ship of that name in the US Navy.
