USS Merrill (DE-392)
USS Merrill (DE-392) was an Edsall-class destroyer escort built for the U.S. Navy during World War II. She served in the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean and provided destroyer escort protection against submarine and air attack for Navy vessels and convoys.
She was named in honor of Ensign Howard Deel Merrill who was declared dead as of 7 December 1941, as a result of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. She was laid down 1 July 1943 by the Brown Shipbuilding Co., Houston, Texas; launched 29 August 1943; sponsored by Miss Dorothy E. Merrill, sister of ''Ens. H. D. Merrill''; and commissioned 27 November 1943, Lt. Comdr. Irvin J. Stephens, USCG, in command.

Following Bermuda shakedown, ''Merrill'' reported to the Atlantic Fleet at Norfolk, Virginia, 28 January 1944. Assigned to CortDiv 45, she began transatlantic escort duty with a North Africa bound convoy 12 February. The destroyer escort continued this duty between American and Mediterranean ports until war ended, successfully escorting 15 convoys across the Atlantic.
