Squall was laid down 17 February 1993 by Bollinger Shipyards, Lockport, Louisiana and launched 28 August 1993. She was commissioned by the United States Navy 4 July 1994. Operational historyIn 2013, Squall shifted homeport to Naval Support Activity Bahrain. On August 24, 2016, while operating in the northern end of the Persian Gulf, the Squall fired three .50 caliber machine gun warning shots at an Iranian Revolutionary Guards boat which had been harassing the Squall, the USS Tempest and a ship of the Kuwati Navy. During the encounter, the Iranian boat closed within 200 yards (180 m) of the Tempest and ignored earlier warnings to leave the area conveyed by radio and loud speaker and reinforced with the firing of flares. In accordance with standard maritime procedure, the warning shots were fired into the water. The Iranian boat then left the area.[2][3] Squall was decommissioned on 14 March 2022 at Naval Support Activity Bahrain.[1]
