USS Robert Brazier (DE-345)
USS Robert Brazier (DE-345) 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. Post-war, she returned home with one battle star to her credit. ''Robert Brazier'' was named for Robert Boyd Brazier, a gunner aboard a torpedo plane who was killed during the Battle of Midway and awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross.
''Robert Brazier'' was laid down 16 November 1943 by the Consolidated Steel Corp., Ltd., Orange, Texas; launched 22 January 1944; sponsored by Mrs. Celia Brazier, mother of Aviation Radioman Brazier; and commissioned 18 May 1944; Lt. Comdr. Donald D. Snyder, Jr., USNR, in command.

Following shakedown off Bermuda, ''Robert Brazier'' arrived at New York, 19 August 1944, and the next day commenced escort work with a convoy run to Norfolk, Virginia. There for a week, she served as a school ship for the Destroyer Training School, conducted tests for the Bureau of Ordnance, and assumed duties as flagship, CortDiv 76 which she kept throughout World War II. Between 27 August and 7 September, she participated in a hunt for a German submarine reported off the coast. Later that month, she joined task force TF 69 to escort a fast convoy of tankers and transports to Italy. Completing that run at New York 23 October, she sailed again 10 November, heading south, then west.
Forty-one days later she anchored in Seeadler Harbor, Manus. On 26 December she sailed for Hollandia, whence she escorted tankers to Leyte, arriving 6 January 1945. Continuing escort duty, she plied the sealanes between Leyte, Kossol Roads, and Hollandia until 19 February when she sailed for Mindoro and duty with the local defense force there. For the next 2 weeks she patrolled the approaches to Mangarin Bay and the convoy lanes to Subic Bay. Then, on 6 March, the destroyer resumed duties as an ocean escort.
