USS Hammann (DE-131)
USS ''Hammann'' (DE-131) was an built for the U.S. Navy during World War II. She served in the Atlantic Ocean and provided destroyer escort protection against submarine and air attack for Navy vessels and convoys.
She was named after Charles Hazeltine Hammann who was awarded the Medal of Honor, when, as a pilot of a seaplane 21 August 1918, off the coast of Italy, he dived down and landed next to a downed fellow pilot, brought him aboard, and although his plane was not designed for the double load, brought him to safety amid constant danger of attack by Austrian planes.
''Hammann'' was laid down 10 July 1942 as ''Langley'',〔DANFS says Lanoley, apparently a typo.〕 renamed ''Hammann'' 1 August 1942, launched by Consolidated Steel Corporation, Orange, Texas, 13 December 1942; sponsored by Mrs. Lilliam Rhode, sister of Charles Hammann;〔"4 Vessels put into water at Orange Plant", ''The Port Arthur News'', Port Arthur, Texas. Monday, 14 December 1942. Page 2〕 and commissioned 17 May 1943, Lieutenant Commander B. D. deKay in command.
== World War II North Atlantic operations==
''Hammann'' departed 5 June for Bermuda and shakedown operations, returning to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 6 July. From there the ship sailed to Norfolk, Virginia, and on 13 July began the first of her many transatlantic convoy voyages. Her first four passages to Casablanca, Morocco, covered the period 13 July 1943 to 10 March 1944. During this period she screened convoys in company with escort carriers. She made several attacks on submarine contacts, but recorded no kills.
