USS Johnnie Hutchins (DE-360)
USS ''Johnnie Hutchins'' (DE-360) 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. She served her nation in the Pacific Ocean, and, post-war, she returned home proudly with a Navy Unit Commendation awarded to her for her battle with Japanese midget submarines 9 August 1945.
USS ''Johnnie Hutchins'' was named in honor of Johnnie David Hutchins who was awarded the nation’s highest honor, the Medal of Honor, for giving his own life in order to save his shipmates on 4 September 1943 aboard USS LST 473 during the assault on Lae, New Guinea. She was laid down 6 March 1944 by Consolidated Steel Corp., Ltd., Orange, Texas; launched 2 May 1944; sponsored by Mrs. Johnnie M. Hutchins, mother of ''Seaman First Class Hutchins''; and commissioned 28 August 1944, Comdr. H. M. Godsey in command.
