USS Booth (DE-170)
USS ''Booth'' (DE-170) was a built for the United States Navy during World War II. She served in the Atlantic Ocean and then the Pacific Ocean and provided escort service against submarine and air attack for Navy vessels and convoys.
She was laid down on 30 January 1943 at Newark, New Jersey, by the Federal Shipbuilding and Drydock Co.; launched on 21 June 1943; named for Ensign Robert Sinclair Booth, who was assigned to the USS Arizona at Pearl Harbor, the first Washington, DC serviceman to die in the war; sponsored by Mrs. Annie L. Booth; towed by ocean-going tug ' from her building yard to Norfolk, Virginia, via the Cape Cod Canal (24–26 June 1943), completed at the Norfolk Navy Yard; and commissioned there on 18 September 1943, Lt. Comdr. Donald W. Todd in command.

After fitting out, ''Booth'' put to sea from Hampton Roads, Virginia, on 14 October 1943 for her shakedown. The destroyer escort returned to Norfolk from the Bermuda area on 13 November and entered the navy yard for post-shakedown availability. From 1 December to the 17th, she was at Washington, D.C., taking part in experimental work at the Naval Research Laboratory at Bellevue and the Washington Navy Yard. During the latter part of the month, ''Booth'' helped to train prospective destroyer escort crews in the Hampton Roads area.
At the beginning of 1944, the warship's division, Escort Division (CortDiv) 15, became a part of Task Force (TF) 62. Over the next 16 months, ''Booth'' and her division mates completed eight round-trip voyages to the Mediterranean and back escorting UGS (Slow Eastbound) and GUS (Slow Westbound) convoys, and she logged Gibraltar, Casablanca, Bizerte, Palermo, and Oran, as eastern termini. Though she investigated a number of sound contacts for possible enemy submarines, her only verifiable scrape with the Germans came from the air when planes attacked Convoy UGS-48 off Cape Bengut, Algeria, on the night of 1 August 1944. The convoy’s anti-aircraft gunners repulsed the attack quickly, and none of the ships in the convoy suffered any damage.
