'''USS ''Samuel Eliot Morison'' (FFG-13)''', was the seventh {{sclass|Oliver Hazard Perry|frigate}} in service with the [[United States Navy]]. She was named for Rear Admiral [[Samuel Eliot Morison]] (1887–1976), one of America's most distinguished naval historians, who wrote more than 40 books on naval history including [[History of United States Naval Operations in World War II|the official history]] of the US Navy in [[World War II]].

''Samuel Eliot Morison'' was the first ship of that name in the U.S. Navy.

==TCG ''Gökova'' (F 496)==
On 11 April 2002, ''Samuel Eliot Morison'' was decommissioned and transferred to [[Turkey]], where she was renamed as TCG ''Gökova'' (F 496) and joined the other ''Oliver Hazard Perry''-class vessels acquired by the [[Turkish Navy]] as {{sclass2|G|frigate|2}}<nowiki/>s.

In 2013, she contributed to [[Operation Ocean Shield]] with other NATO Forces Ships in the Gulf of Aden.

As of 2019, she is still in active service.
