USS Livermore (DD-429)
USS ''Livermore'' (DD-429), a ''Gleaves''-class destroyer, was the 1st ship of the United States Navy to be named for Samuel Livermore, the first naval chaplain to be honored with a ship in his name.
Originally planned as ''Grayson'', DD-429 was renamed ''Livermore'' 23 December 1938; laid down 6 March 1939 by Bath Iron Works, Bath, Maine; launched 3 August 1940; sponsored by Mrs. Everard M. Upjohn, a descendant of Chaplain Livermore; and commissioned 7 October 1940, Lieutenant Commander Vernon Huber in command.
==Pre World War II==
Launched in the aftermath of the fall of France, ''Livermore'', after a brief training period, was assigned 29 April 1941 to the neutrality patrol. With ships like the aircraft carrier ''Wasp'' (CV-7) and sister destroyers, she escorted as far as Iceland convoys bound for England. There ensued a shadowy undeclared war with Nazi wolfpacks. She was on convoy duty with USS ''Kearny'' (DD-432) when the latter was torpedoed 17 October. The hazards of this duty for ''Livermore'' also included a temporary grounding 24 November during a storm and having a friendly battery on Iceland fire across the ship.
