USS Forrest (DD-461)
USS ''Forrest'' (DD-461/DMS-24), a ''Gleaves''-class destroyer, was the only ship of the United States Navy to be named for Lieutenant Dulany Forrest, an officer that served during the War of 1812.
''Forrest'' (DD-461) was launched 14 June 1941 by Boston Navy Yard; sponsored by Miss Eileen F. Thomson, a great-grandniece of Lt. Forrest; and commissioned 13 January 1942, Lieutenant Commander M. Van Metre in command. She was reclassified DMS-24 on 15 November 1944.
==1942, including Operation Torch==
''Forrest'' sailed from Boston 15 June 1942 for NS Argentia, Newfoundland, to augment the escort of the aircraft carrier ''Ranger'' (CV-4), with whose force she returned to Newport on 22 June. On 1 July she sailed with the ''Ranger'' group for the coast of West Africa, where the carrier flew off Army aircraft for the burgeoning base at Accra. Returning to Norfolk on 5 August, ''Forrest'' served in training operations, submarine searches, and coastal escort duty until 21 October, when she arrived at Bermuda to join the ''Ranger'' group for the invasion of North Africa. She screened air operations covering the landings at Safi, Casablanca, and Fedhala from 8 to 12 November, then served in an antisubmarine patrol in advance of an incoming convoy until 18 November. ''Forrest'' escorted a convoy to a point off Norfolk, then turned back to Bermuda to rendezvous with the cruiser ''Augusta'' (CA-31) with whom she returned to Norfolk 30 November.
