USS Charles F. Hughes (DD-428)
USS ''Charles F. Hughes'' (DD-428) was a ''Benson''-class destroyer in the United States Navy during World War II. She was named for Charles Frederick Hughes.
''Charles F. Hughes'' was launched 16 May 1940 by Puget Sound Navy Yard, Bremerton, Washington; sponsored by Mrs. C. F. Hughes; and commissioned 5 September 1940, Lieutenant Commander G. L. Menocal in command.
==1941==
After training operations in the Caribbean, ''Charles F. Hughes'' reported at Newport, Rhode Island 3 April 1941 to join in the U.S. Navy's support of Britain. In September 1941, ''Hughes'' and other American destroyers took up the responsibility for providing convoy escort in the western Atlantic.
Twice during this period, ''Hughes'' rescued survivors from sunken merchantmen. The first rescue came as she steamed escorting the Marine forces bound for the occupation of Iceland in July 1941, when she saved fourteen survivors, including four American Red Cross nurses, from a torpedoed Norwegian freighter. On 16 October, she rescued seven men from a lifeboat, survivors of the British Freighter SS HATASU, a straggler form convoy ON19, sunk a few days previously by U-431.
