USS Hill (DE-141)
USS Hill (DE-141) was an Edsall-class destroyer escort built for the U.S. Navy during World War II. She served in the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean and provided destroyer escort protection against submarine and air attack for Navy vessels and convoys.
She was named in honor of Edwin J. Hill, Chief Boatswain Mate who lost his life for his brave actions during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, for which he was posthumously awarded the Navy Medal of Honor.
''Hill (DE-141)'' was launched 28 February 1943 by the Consolidated Steel Corp., Orange, Texas, sponsored by Mrs. Edward Hill, widow of ''Chief Boatswain Hill''; and commissioned there 16 August 1943, Lt. Comdr. G. R. Keating in command.
== World War II Atlantic Ocean Operations ==
After shakedown out of Bermuda, ''Hill'' tested new torpedo explosives and engaged in training along the New England coast. Departing Hampton Roads 5 December, ''Hill'' escorted a convoy to Casablanca via Ponta del Gada, Azores, and returned to the States 18 January 1944. During the next year the destroyer escort made four more transatlantic voyages to the North African coast as Allied forces pushed up the Italian peninsula and began their assault on southern France. On her fourth voyage, ''Hill'' performed antisubmarine patrol at Bahia, Brazil, and Cape Town, South Africa.
