USS Lowe (DE-325)
USS ''Lowe'' (DE-325) was an Edsall-class destroyer escort built for the U.S. Navy during World War II. She served in the Atlantic Ocean the Pacific Ocean and provided destroyer escort protection against submarine and air attack for Navy vessels and convoys. Post-war she was converted and served the Navy as a weather ship and then as a radar picket ship.
She was named in honor of Gunner’s Mate Third Class Harry James Lowe, Jr., who was awarded the Navy Cross posthumously for his brave actions in the Solomon Islands. The ship was laid down by Consolidated Steel Corp., Orange, Texas, 24 May 1943; launched 28 July 1943; sponsored by Mrs. Harry J. Lowe, mother; and commissioned 22 November 1943, Comdr. Reginald H. French, USCG, in command.
== World War II North Atlantic operations==
After a shakedown cruise to Bermuda, ''Lowe'' reported for convoy duty 2 February 1944 and departed Charleston, South Carolina, escorting convoy UGS 32 to Casablanca, French Morocco, and back. On her second such assignment, ''Lowe'' went into action 20 April when her convoy came under tenacious enemy air attack off the North African coast. Simultaneously, two high speed wakes made directly for the starboard side of the ship. She evaded the torpedoes by a hard right turn which enabled her to escape between the oncoming warheads.
''Lowe'' continued convoy escort service making a total of 12 Atlantic crossings until 5 March 1945 when she joined TG 22.14, an exclusively U.S. Coast Guard “hunter-killer” group, with the specific mission of finding and destroying an enemy submarine operating due east of Newfoundland.
