USS Lyman K. Swenson
USS ''Lyman K. Swenson'' (DD-729), an ''Allen M. Sumner''-class destroyer, was laid down 11 September 1943 by Bath Iron Works, Bath, Maine; launched 12 February 1944; sponsored by Miss Cecelia A. Swenson, daughter of Captain Swenson; and commissioned at Boston Navy Yard 2 May 1944, Commander Francis T. Williamson in command.
''USS Lyman K. Swenson (DD-729)'' is the only ship of the United States Navy to be named for Lyman Knute Swenson, who was the captain of the USS ''Juneau'' (CL-52). The ''Juneau'' was lost during the Battle of Guadalcanal, taking with it 690 men, including Captain Swenson as well as the five Sullivan brothers. Lyman Swenson was posthumously awarded the Navy Cross for his service.
==Initial operations==
Commissioned after the battle for the Atlantic had been decided, ''Lyman K. Swenson'' completed a Bermuda‑based shakedown cruise 25 June 1944 and prepared for duty in the Pacific. Departing Boston 31 July, the new destroyer transited the Panama Canal 8 August and arrived at Pearl Harbor the 30th. After intensive training and practice in antisubmarine warfare (ASW) and antiaircraft warfare (AAW), she departed for the war zone 28 September, dropping anchor at Ulithi—her base for the next six months‑on 13 October.
