USS Lewis B. Puller (FFG-23), fifteenth ship of the Oliver Hazard Perry class of guided-missile frigates, was named for Marine Lieutenant General Lewis B. "Chesty" Puller (1898–1971). Ordered from Todd Shipyards, San Pedro, CA on 28 February 1977 as part of the FY77 program, Lewis B. Puller was laid down on 23 May 1979, launched on 15 March 1980, and commissioned on 17 April 1982. Decommissioned and stricken on 18 September 1998, she was transferred to Egypt the same day as that nation's Toushka (F 906).

Lewis B. Puller (FFG-23) was the first ship of that name in the US Navy.
