High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! USS Eugene (PF-40), a Tacoma-class frigate, originally classified as PG-148, is the only ship of the United States Navy to be named for Eugene, Oregon. Eugene (PF-40) was launched at the Consolidated Steel Corporation shipyard in Wilmington, California, on 6 July 1943, sponsored by Mrs. Frank D. Cross; and commissioned on 15 January 1944, with Commander C. R. MacLean, USCG, in command. Following her shakedown cruise, Eugene, who was manned by a Coast Guard crew, stood out of San Francisco, California, en route to the southwestern Pacific. Arriving off the coast of Australia in late June 1944, she engaged in anti-submarine patrol off New Guinea and the Philippines, transported personnel, bombarded the shore at Soepiori Island, but principally escorted convoys among the islands of the area.
