USS Barber (DE-161)
USS ''Barber'' (DE-161/APD-57), a of the United States Navy, was named in honor of brother Malcolm, Randolph, and Leroy Barber who were all killed aboard the on 7 December 1941. The ship was laid down in April 1943 and launched one month later, but because the Barber brothers' mother was not available on the day of launching, the ship was christened at the same time that she was commissioned in October 1943. After a year of service in the Atlantic escorting convoys and helping to sink , ''Barber'' was converted to a and assigned the new hull code of ''APD-57''. After her conversion was complete in January 1945, ''Barber'' sailed for duty in the Pacific. After earning three battle stars for her wartime service, ''Barber'' was decommissioned in March 1946 and placed in reserve.
After 22 years of inactivity, ''Barber'' was struck from the Naval Vessel Register in November 1968, and transferred to the Mexican Navy the following February as ARM ''Coahuila'' (B07). In 1994, she was renamed ARM ''Vincente Guerrero'' after former Mexican president Vincente Guerrero. The ship was later restored to her original Mexican name of ''Coahuila'' with a new pennant number of ''E21'', before she was stricken from the rolls of the Mexican Navy in July 2001. Her ultimate fate is unreported in secondary sources.
== U.S. Navy career ==
''Barber'' (DE-161) was laid down on 27 April 1943 at Portsmouth, Virginia, by the Norfolk Navy Yard and was launched on 24 May 1943. However, because the sponsor, Mrs. Peter Thomas Barber, the mother of the Barber brothers, could not be present at the launching of the ship, ''Barber''s christening was delayed until the day of her commissioning, 10 October 1943, when the two ceremonies were held simultaneously. Mrs. Barber christened the ship, and USS ''Barber'' was placed in commission, Lt. Eugene T. B. Sullivan in command.
