USS Charles E. Brannon (DE-446)
USS ''Charles E. Brannon'' (DE-446) was a ''John C. Butler''-class destroyer escort acquired by the U.S. Navy during World War II. The primary purpose of the destroyer escort was to escort and protect ships in convoy, in addition to other tasks as assigned, such as patrol or radar picket. Post-war she proudly returned home with one battle star to her credit.
''Charles E. Brannon'' (DE-446) was named in honor of Ensign Charles E. Brannon who was awarded the Navy Cross posthumously for his brave actions during the Battle of Midway.
She was launched 23 April 1944 by Federal Shipbuilding Co., Newark, New Jersey; sponsored by Second Lieutenant D. Brannon, WAG; and commissioned 1 November 1944, Commander E. W. Todd in command.
== World War II Pacific Theatre operations ==
Putting out from New York 27 January 1945, ''Charles E. Brannon'' escorted cargo ships by way of the Panama Canal, and the Galapagos and Society Islands to Manus, arriving 15 March. Routed on to San Pedro Bay, Philippine Islands, she began the important task of guarding inter-island convoys. Late in April, she sailed in the screen of the assault forces bound for Tarakan, Borneo, off which she lay from 1 to 8 May, covering the landings and giving call fire support. Her effective gunfire won many compliments from the troops whose advance was thereby expedited. ''Charles E. Brannon'' gave similar support during the assault on Brunei Bay which began 10 June.
