USS Thomas J. Gary (DE/DER-326) was decommissioned on 22 October 1973 after nearly thirty years of service. She was simultaneously struck from the Naval Vessel Registry, transferred to Tunisia, and re-named President Bourgiba. She served the Tunisian government for nearly nineteen years before a major fire in 1992 caused extensive damage, forcing her removal from service.
