USS Presley (DE-371)
USS Presley (DE-371) 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 Aviation Machinist’s Mate first class Sam Davis Presley who received the Navy Cross for his brave actions during the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands.
==Sam Davis Presley==
Sam Presley enlisted in the Navy 7 November 1939. On 30 September 1942 he became Aviation Machinist’s Mate first class.
As his ship ''Enterprise'' (CV-6), came under sustained enemy air attack, he voluntarily abandoned the shelter of his normal battle station. Climbing into a plane parked on the flight deck, he manned the flexible guns in the rear cockpit and commenced an effective fire against the attacking aircraft. As the battle continued, a bomb explosion blew the plane overboard. ''AMI Presley'' was listed as “missing in action,” and presumed dead 27 October 1942.
