- USS Vreeland (FF-1068) was a Knox-class frigate of the United States Navy. The ship was named for Rear Admiral Charles E. Vreeland (1852–1916). Vreeland (DE-1068) was laid down on 20 March 1968 by the Avondale Shipyard at Westwego, La.; launched on 16 June 1969; sponsored by Mrs. Jamie L. Whitten, wife of the Congressman representing Mississippi's 2nd Congressional district; and commissioned at Charleston, S.C., on 13 June 1970. During evacuation of PLO troops from Beirut, Lebanon Vreeland provide emergency underway replenishment (UNREP)to the Greek ferry carrying the armed PLO evacuees. This unusual operation required Vreeland to operate alongside a vessel unfamiliar with the UNREP process and presented a risk of a hostile response by the Palestinian evacuees aboard the receiving ship. Medical supplies, food and potable water were transferred to the ferry without significant incident. This aid likely resulted in the transit to South Yemen being completed without loss of control of the ferry by the Greek crew to PLO troops. (en)
