USS Heermann (DD-532)
USS ''Heermann'' (DD-532) was a World War II-era in the service of the United States Navy, named after Fleet Surgeon Lewis Heermann (1779–1833).
''Heermann'' was launched 5 December 1942 by the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Co. of San Francisco, California; sponsored by Mrs. Edward B. Briggs, wife of Lieutenant E. B. Briggs, USCGR, great grandson of the namesake; and commissioned 6 July 1943, Commander Dwight M. Agnew, USN, in command. ''Heerman'' gained fame during the "last stand of the Tin-Can Sailors" in which she and several other destroyers of Task Unit 77.4.3 (''Taffy 3'') engaged a far superior Japanese task force during the Battle off Samar in October 1944. ''Heermann'' was the only American destroyer of ''Taffy 3'' to survive the engagement.
== World War II ==
After shakedown training out of San Diego, California, ''Heermann'' joined the 5th Fleet 21 October 1943 for Operation Galvanic, the assault on the Gilbert Islands, the second major offensive thrust in the Navy's conquest of Japan's far-flung Pacific empire. She arrived off Tarawa in Rear Admiral Harry W. Hill's Southern Attack Force 20 November. Her guns sank a small enemy craft inside the lagoon and the next 2 days assisted troops ashore with close-in fire support. With the island secured, she returned to Pearl Harbor for voyage repairs and training which ended 23 January when she sailed in the screen of an attack transport reserve force.
