USS Murphy (DD-603)
USS ''Murphy'' (DD-603) was a ''Benson''-class destroyer in the United States Navy during World War II. She was named for Lieutenant John McLeod Murphy.
''Murphy'' was laid down 19 May 1941 by Bethlehem Steel Corporation, Staten Island, New York; launched 29 April 1942; sponsored by Miss M. Elsie Murphy, daughter of Lieutenant Murphy; and commissioned 25 July 1942, Commander Leonard W. Bailey in command.
==Service history==
Following shakedown to Casco Bay, Maine, and escort duty off Halifax, Nova Scotia, ''Murphy'' joined the Center Attack Group, Western Naval Task Force, at Norfolk, Virginia, sailing in late October for Fedhala, Morocco, to participate in Operation Torch, the invasion of North Africa. Arriving off the landing beaches 7 November, the destroyer regulated the waves of landing craft hitting the beach the next day, then gave fire support off Point Blondin at which time the ship was hit in the after engine room during a furious exchange of fire with the Sherkhi battery, losing three men killed and 25 wounded. Immediate damage control measures prevented any serious damage and ''Murphy''s crew effected repairs in time to join other fire support ships in silencing the Cape Blondin guns. ''Murphy'' remained off Fedhala through the Naval Battle of Casablanca, driving off an air attack 9 November, until sailing for Boston to complete repairs, arriving on the 24th.
The destroyer next escorted convoys between New York and Panama, and Norfolk and Casablanca, until joining the "Dime" attack force screen for the Amphibious Battle of Gela, Sicily, in July 1943, ''"Operation Husky"''.〔Quest for Sunken Warships-''USS Murphy'',2007, Military Channel, 19 July 2009, 2-3am, MDT〕 On 10 July, while engaged in patrolling the beachhead, ''Murphy'' was straddled by near misses from a night air attack, puncturing her stern and wounding one man. She was again attacked two nights later, being missed by 100 yards by a German dive bomber, but continued her fire support off Sicily into August. Then, while escorting a group of transports to Palermo, she was once again attacked by dive bombers; but this time she downed two planes.
