USS Gilligan (DE-508)
USS Gilligan (DE-508) 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. After the war, she proudly returned home with one battle star to her credit.
''Gilligan'' (DE-508) was named in honor of John Joseph Gilligan, Jr., who was awarded the Silver Star for his bravery on Tulagi, in the Solomon Islands.
She was launched 22 February 1944 by the Federal Shipbuilding & Drydock Co., Newark, New Jersey; sponsored by Mrs. John J. Gilligan, the namesake's mother; and commissioned 12 May 1944, Lt. Comdr. Carl E. Bull, USNR, commanding.

Following shakedown off Bermuda, ''Gilligan'' escorted a troopship from New York to Maine and sailed from Norfolk, Virginia, 5 August 1944 to escort an LSD to Pearl Harbor, arriving 30 August. Underway 29 September to escort merchantmen to Eniwetok, she put in at Majuro 13 October and from 16–27 October 1944 escorted merchantmen to Kwajalein, bombarded Mille Atoll and Jaluit Island, and sank a Japanese schooner, before returning to Majuro the latter date.
