USS Poole (DE-151)
USS Poole (DE-151) 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.
She was named in honor of Gunners Mate First Class Minor Butler Poole who was posthumously awarded the Navy Cross for extraordinary heroism and courageous devotion to duty while in charge of the Forward Magazine Flooding Control Station aboard during the Battle of Cape Esperance, Guadalcanal, on the night of 11–12 October 1942. He gave up his life in an attempt to reach the flooding panel through overpowering gas fumes, 12 October 1942.
''Poole (DE–151)'' was laid down by the Consolidated Steel Co., Orange, Texas, 13 February 1943; launched 8 May 1943; sponsored by Mrs. Minor Herndon Poole, mother of ''Minor Butler Poole''. Poole's mother used a bottle filled with water from Liberty Creek in Mississippi to christen the ship instead of the traditional Champagne. She used it because her son learned to swim in the waters of the creek.〔''Creek Water Christens Ship''. Associated Press. Amarillo Daily News. Amarillo, Texas. Friday, 21 May 1943. Page 7.〕 ''Poole'' was commissioned 29 September 1943, Comdr. R. D. Dean, USCG, in command.

Following shakedown off Bermuda, ''Poole'' took on coastwise escort duties, and toward the end of the year extended her escort services to transatlantic runs. She departed New York to escort a convoy to Casablanca, arriving 11 January 1944. Returning to New York 5 February, she shifted to the North Atlantic sea lanes and for the next 15 months escorted high speed convoys (tankers and transports) to ports in the United Kingdom and, after June 1944, on the European Continent.
