USS Mack (DE-358)
USS ''Mack'' (DE-358) 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 was named in honor of Harold John Mack who was awarded the Navy Cross for his brave actions during the Battle of Savo Island. She was launched 11 April 1944 by Consolidated Steel Corp., Shipbuilding Division, Orange, Texas; sponsored by Mrs. Gertrude Mack, mother of ''Harold John Mack'', GM2/c; and commissioned 16 August 1944, Lt. Cmdr. J. F. Nelson, USNR, in command.
==World War II Pacific Theatre operations==
After initial shakedown exercises off the U.S. East Coast, ''Mack'' assembled with ComCortDiv 82 at Norfolk, Virginia, 17 to 20 October, and departed on the 21st for the Panama Canal en route to the Pacific Ocean. Becoming a unit of the U.S. 7th Fleet ''Mack'' escorted convoys between Hollandia, New Guinea, Kossol Roads, Palau Islands, and Leyte until March 1945. On the 2nd of that month she commenced antisubmarine patrols in the South China Sea off the Philippines. Investigating sonar contact on the 13th, ''Mack'' grounded on an uncharted shoal in Mangarin Bay, damaging both screws and tall shafts. Towed to Hollandia for repairs, 14 April to 4 June, she returned to escort duty between Hollandia and Manila on the 14th.
A month later ''Mack'' commenced working for the port director, Manila, escorting ships to San Fernando, Luzon, until the 3d of August when she was placed under the authority of the port director, Subic, and escorted a convoy of landing craft from Subic Bay to Okinawa.
