USS Sides (FFG-14), eighth ship of the Oliver Hazard Perry class of guided-missile frigates, was named for Admiral John H. Sides (died 1978). Ordered from Todd Shipyards, San Pedro, CA on 27 February 1976 as part of the FY76 program, Sides was laid down on 7 August 1978, launched on 19 May 1979, and commissioned on 30 May 1981. The Sides is most notable for being part of the Surface Action Group under USS Vincennes (CG-49) when Iran Air 655 was shot down. Decommissioned on 28 February 2003, Sides is currently laid up in reserve at Naval Inactive Ships Maintenance Facility Bremerton, WA.
Sides was expected to join the Portuguese Navy in 2006, together with her sister ship Ex-George Philip (FFG-12), but meanwhile the Portuguese Navy seems to be dropping the offer and will choose two Dutch Karel Doorman Frigates instead.
Sides (FFG-14) was the first ship of that name in the US Navy.
