Tacoma class patrol frigate
USS Glendale (PF 36), a patrol frigate, is the only ship of the United States Navy to be named for Glendale, California. In commission in the US Navy from 1943 to 1945, and from 1950 to 1951, she also served in the Soviet Navy as EK 6 from 1945 to 1949 and in the Royal Thai Navy as Tachin (PF 1) from 1951 to 2000. Construction and commissioning
Originally classified as a patrol gunboat, PG 144, Glendale was reclassified as a patrol frigate, PF 36, on 15 April 1943. She was launched on 28 May 1943, at the Consolidated Steel Corporation shipyard in Los Angeles, California, sponsored by Miss Shirley Schlichtman and commissioned on 1 October 1943. Service history
World War II, 1944 1945
Following shakedown off Southern California, Glendale departed San Diego, California, on 12 January 1944 and reached Cairns, Australia, on 17 February 1944. Until late 1944, she served as an anti submarine and anti aircraft escort ship based in New Guinea, protecting arriving and departing merchant ships. In September 1944, Glendale took part in the assault on Morotai Island, departing Humboldt Bay, New Guinea, on 14 September 1944 to escort merchant ships to the island. She returned to Humboldt Bay on 24 September 1944 to continue escort assignments between New Guinea and the Philippine Islands. On 5 December 1944, Glendale was escorting a convoy from Hollandia to Leyte in the Philippines when attacking Japanese aircraft sank SS Antoine Saugrain, a cargo ship laden with valuable radar materiel, and severely damaged the merchant ship Glendale brought the rest of the convoy safely into Leyte the next day. Glendale departed Leyte on 8 December 1944 bound for the Atlantic Ocean and moored at Boston, Massachusetts, on 24 January 1945. After overhaul, Glendale got underway from Casco Bay, Maine, on 28 March 1945 as part of Escort Division 25 – which also included her sister ships Long Beach (the flagship), Belfast, San Pedro, Coronado, and Ogden – bound for Seattle, Washington, via the Panama Canal. The six patrol frigates arrived at Seattle on 26 April 1945. They got underway again for Kodiak in the Territory of Alaska on 7 June 1945. Ogden had to return to Seattle for repairs, but Belfast and the other four frigates arrived at Womens Bay, Kodiak, on 11 June 1945. On 13 June 1945, Glendale, Long Beach, Belfast, San Pedro, Coronado, and their sister ships Charlottesville, Allentown, Machias, and Sandusky got underway from Kodiak for Cold Bay, Alaska, where they arrived on 14 June 1945 to participate in Project Hula, a secret program for the transfer of U. S. Navy ships to the Soviet Navy in anticipation of the Soviet Union joining the war against Japan. Training of Glendales new Soviet Navy crew soon began at Cold Bay. Soviet Navy, 1945–1949
Glendale was decommissioned on 12 July 1945 at Cold Bay and transferred to the Soviet Union under Lend Lease immediately along with nine of her sister ships. This was the first group of patrol frigates transferred to the Soviet Navy. When her commanding officer, Lieutenant Commander Ambrose Simko, handed Glendale over to the Soviet Navy, he as well as the commanding officers of the other nine transferred patrol frigates received custom daggers made for each of them as gifts from the Soviets. Commissioned into the Soviet Navy immediately, Glendale was designated as a storozhevoi korabl ("escort ship") and renamed EK 6 in Soviet service. On 15 July 1945, EK 6 departed Cold Bay in company with nine of her sister ships – EK 1 (ex Charlottesville), EK 2 (ex Long Beach), EK 3 (ex Belfast), EK 4 (ex Machias), EK 5 (ex San Pedro), EK 7 (ex Sandusky), EK 8 (ex Coronado), EK 9 (ex Allentown), and EK 10 (ex Ogden) – bound for Petropavlovsk Kamchatsky in the Soviet Union. EK 6 served as a patrol vessel in the Soviet Far East. In February 1946, the United States began negotiations with the Soviet Union for the return of ships loaned to the Soviet Navy for use during World War II. On 8 May 1947, United States Secretary of the Navy James V. Forrestal informed the United States Department of State that the United States Department of the Navy wanted 480 of the 585 combatant ships it had transferred to the Soviet Union for World War II use returned, EK 6 among them. Negotiations for the return of the ships was protracted, but on 16 November 1949 the Soviet Union finally returned EK 6 to the U. S. Navy at Yokosuka, Japan.

Вторая мировая война, 1944–1945
После ходовых испытаний у побережья Южной Калифорнии, Glendale покинул Сан-Диего, Калифорния, 12 января 1944 года и прибыл в Кэрнс, Австралия, 17 февраля 1944 года. До конца 1944 года служил противолодочным и противовоздушным эскортным кораблём, базировавшимся в Новой Гвинее, обеспечивая защиту прибывающих и отходящих торговых судов. В сентябре 1944 года Glendale принял участие в штурме острова Моротай, выйдя из залива Гумбольдт, Новая Гвинея, 14 сентября 1944 года для сопровождения торговых судов к острову. 24 сентября 1944 года вернулся в залив Гумбольдт для продолжения выполнения эскортных заданий между Новой Гвинеей и Филиппинскими островами. 5 декабря 1944 года Glendale сопровождал конвой из Голландии к Лейте на Филиппинах, когда атаковавшие японские самолеты потопили SS Antoine Saugrain, грузовое судно, груженое ценным радиолокационным оборудованием, и серьезно повредили торговое судно. Glendale благополучно доставил остальную часть конвоя в Лейте на следующий день. Glendale покинул Лейте 8 декабря 1944 года в направлении Атлантического океана и пришвартовался в Бостоне, штат Массачусетс, 24 января 1945 года. После ремонта 28 марта 1945 года Glendale вышел из залива Каско, штат Мэн, в составе эскортной дивизии 25, в которую также входили его однотипные корабли Long Beach (флагманский корабль), Belfast, San Pedro, Coronado и Ogden, направляясь в Сиэтл, штат Вашингтон, через Панамский канал. Шесть патрульных фрегатов прибыли в Сиэтл 26 апреля 1945 года. 7 июня 1945 года они вновь отправились в Кодиак на территории Аляски. Ogden вернулся в Сиэтл для ремонта, но Belfast и остальные четыре фрегата прибыли в залив Уомэнс, Кодиак, 11 июня 1945 года. 13 июня 1945 года Glendale, Long Beach, Belfast, San Pedro, Coronado и их однотипные корабли Charlottesville, Allentown, Machias и Sandusky покинули Кодиак для Колд-Бей, Аляска, куда прибыли 14 июня 1945 года для участия в проекте "Hula" – секретной программе по передаче кораблей ВМС США в ВМС СССР в преддверии вступления Советского Союза в войну против Японии. Обучение нового советского экипажа Glendale началось вскоре в Колд-Бей. Советский флот, 1945–1949

World War II, 1944 1945
Following shakedown off Southern California, Glendale departed San Diego, California, on 12 January 1944 and reached Cairns, Australia, on 17 February 1944. Until late 1944, she served as an anti submarine and anti aircraft escort ship based in New Guinea, protecting arriving and departing merchant ships. In September 1944, Glendale took part in the assault on Morotai Island, departing Humboldt Bay, New Guinea, on 14 September 1944 to escort merchant ships to the island. She returned to Humboldt Bay on 24 September 1944 to continue escort assignments between New Guinea and the Philippine Islands. On 5 December 1944, Glendale was escorting a convoy from Hollandia to Leyte in the Philippines when attacking Japanese aircraft sank SS Antoine Saugrain, a cargo ship laden with valuable radar materiel, and severely damaged the merchant ship Glendale brought the rest of the convoy safely into Leyte the next day. Glendale departed Leyte on 8 December 1944 bound for the Atlantic Ocean and moored at Boston, Massachusetts, on 24 January 1945. After overhaul, Glendale got underway from Casco Bay, Maine, on 28 March 1945 as part of Escort Division 25 – which also included her sister ships Long Beach (the flagship), Belfast, San Pedro, Coronado, and Ogden – bound for Seattle, Washington, via the Panama Canal. The six patrol frigates arrived at Seattle on 26 April 1945. They got underway again for Kodiak in the Territory of Alaska on 7 June 1945. Ogden had to return to Seattle for repairs, but Belfast and the other four frigates arrived at Womens Bay, Kodiak, on 11 June 1945. On 13 June 1945, Glendale, Long Beach, Belfast, San Pedro, Coronado, and their sister ships Charlottesville, Allentown, Machias, and Sandusky got underway from Kodiak for Cold Bay, Alaska, where they arrived on 14 June 1945 to participate in Project Hula, a secret program for the transfer of U. S. Navy ships to the Soviet Navy in anticipation of the Soviet Union joining the war against Japan. Training of Glendales new Soviet Navy crew soon began at Cold Bay. Soviet Navy, 1945–1949
Glendale was decommissioned on 12 July 1945 at Cold Bay and transferred to the Soviet Union under Lend Lease immediately along with nine of her sister ships. This was the first group of patrol frigates transferred to the Soviet Navy. When her commanding officer, Lieutenant Commander Ambrose Simko, handed Glendale over to the Soviet Navy, he as well as the commanding officers of the other nine transferred patrol frigates received custom daggers made for each of them as gifts from the Soviets. Commissioned into the Soviet Navy immediately, Glendale was designated as a storozhevoi korabl ("escort ship") and renamed EK 6 in Soviet service. On 15 July 1945, EK 6 departed Cold Bay in company with nine of her sister ships – EK 1 (ex Charlottesville), EK 2 (ex Long Beach), EK 3 (ex Belfast), EK 4 (ex Machias), EK 5 (ex San Pedro), EK 7 (ex Sandusky), EK 8 (ex Coronado), EK 9 (ex Allentown), and EK 10 (ex Ogden) – bound for Petropavlovsk Kamchatsky in the Soviet Union. EK 6 served as a patrol vessel in the Soviet Far East. In February 1946, the United States began negotiations with the Soviet Union for the return of ships loaned to the Soviet Navy for use during World War II. On 8 May 1947, United States Secretary of the Navy James V. Forrestal informed the United States Department of State that the United States Department of the Navy wanted 480 of the 585 combatant ships it had transferred to the Soviet Union for World War II use returned, EK 6 among them. Negotiations for the return of the ships was protracted, but on 16 November 1949 the Soviet Union finally returned EK 6 to the U. S. Navy at Yokosuka, Japan.

Glendale был выведен из состава флота 12 июля 1945 года в Колд-Бей и немедленно передан Советскому Союзу по программе ленд-лиза вместе с девятью однотипными кораблями. Это была первая группа патрульных фрегатов, переданных Советскому флоту. Когда командир корабля, лейтенант-коммандер Амброз Симко, передал Glendale Советскому флоту, он, как и командиры других девяти переданных патрульных фрегатов, получил в подарок от советской стороны изготовленные на заказ кинжалы. Glendale был немедленно принят в состав Советского флота, классифицирован как сторожевой корабль и переименован в EK 6. 15 июля 1945 года EK 6 вышел из Колд-Бей в сопровождении девяти однотипных кораблей – EK 1 (бывший Charlottesville), EK 2 (бывший Long Beach), EK 3 (бывший Belfast), EK 4 (бывший Machias), EK 5 (бывший San Pedro), EK 7 (бывший Sandusky), EK 8 (бывший Coronado), EK 9 (бывший Allentown) и EK 10 (бывший Ogden) – направляясь в Петропавловск-Камчатский в Советском Союзе. EK 6 служил патрульным судном на советском Дальнем Востоке. В феврале 1946 года Соединенные Штаты начали переговоры с Советским Союзом о возвращении кораблей, одолженных Советскому флоту для использования во время Второй мировой войны. 8 мая 1947 года секретарь ВМС США Джеймс В. Форрестал сообщил Государственному департаменту США, что ВМС США хотят вернуть 480 из 585 боевых кораблей, переданных Советскому Союзу для использования во Второй мировой войне, в том числе и EK 6. Переговоры о возвращении кораблей затянулись, но 16 ноября 1949 года Советский Союз наконец вернул EK 6 ВМС США в Йокосуке, Япония.

Корейская война, 1950-1951
Возвратившись к своему прежнему названию, "Глендейл" был вновь введен в состав ВМС США 11 октября 1950 года для участия в Корейской войне. В декабре 1950 года корабль осуществлял патрулирование у побережья Хуннама, Пусана и Инчхона в Корее, поддерживая силы ООН, ведущие бои на суше. 29 октября 1951 года он был повторно выведен из состава флота и вместе с однотипным кораблем "Галлап" передан правительству Таиланда. "Глендейл" был исключен из списков ВМС США 20 ноября 1951 года.
Reverting to her old name. Glendale was recommissioned into the U. S. Navy on 11 October 1950 for service in the Korean War.
