USS Valdez (FF-1096)
USS ''Valdez'' (FF-1096) is the forty-fifth and was built by Avondale Shipyard, Westwego, Louisiana, and originally designated as an ocean escort (DE-1096). She was commissioned in the United States Navy from 1974 to 1991. In 1998, ''Valdez'' was leased to Taiwan and renamed ''Yi Yang'' (FF-939).
==Namesake==
''Valdez'' was named in honor of Hospitalman Phil Isadore Valdez. Born on 13 April 1946 in Dixon, New Mexico. He graduated from Espanola High School, Espanola, New Mexico. On 1 November 1965 he reported to Recruit Training and then attended Naval Hospital Corps Schools San Diego, California. He was assigned to Naval Hospital Key West, Florida; and then on 19 December 1966 transferred to the 1st Battalion, 1st Marine Division (Reinforced), Fleet Marine Force in the Republic of Vietnam, near Danang.
Hospitalman Valdez was killed in action on 29 January 1967 while serving as corpsman with the Third Platoon when that unit was flown in by helicopter to provide support for the embattled Company H, Second Battalion. Upon landing Valdez’ unit came under heavy sniper fire, and several Marines were wounded. Valdez sprang into action running across open land to an injured Marine while being raked by enemy fire. After helping the first Marine to cover and treating his wounds, Valdez returned to the open and rushed to the aid of a second Marine. Positioning himself as to protect the wounded Marine Valdez was mortally wounded by enemy sniper fire. As a result of his exceptional courage he was posthumously advanced in rank to Petty Officer Third Class and awarded the Navy Cross.
