USS Sturtevant (DE-239)
USS Sturtevant (DE-239) 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 Albert D. Sturtevant who was awarded the Navy Cross posthumously during World War I when he, a pilot, was shot down by an overwhelming force of German fighter planes.
''Sturtevant (DE-239),'' a destroyer escort, was laid down on 15 July 1942 by the Brown Shipbuilding Co., at Houston, Texas; launched on 3 December 1942; sponsored by Mrs. William North Sturtevant; and commissioned on 16 June 1943, Lt. Comdr. Frederick W. Hawes in command.
== World War II North Atlantic operations==
After shakedown in the vicinity of Bermuda and training off the Rhode Island coast, ''Sturtevant'' began 21 months of convoy escort duty in the Atlantic. On 24 September, she got underway to screen her first convoy to Casablanca and Gibraltar. The commissioning executive officer, LCDR James M. Mertz, USNR, assumed command in November 1943 and remained in command through the end of the war.〔http://digital.lib.ecu.edu/special/ead/findingaids/OH0116/〕 After two more such Atlantic crossings, she was assigned to Liverpool-bound convoys and made five voyages to Londonderry in Northern Ireland, the principal escort base in the UK and home to US NOB Londonderry. ''Sturtevant'' rounded out her Atlantic service with two convoys each to Liverpool, England, and Cardiff, Wales, and one to Southampton, England. Between crossings, the destroyer escort was repaired and overhauled at the New York Navy Yard and trained at Casco Bay, Maine, and at Montauk Point, Long Island. In all, ''Sturtevant'' made 13 successful round-trip voyages across the Atlantic and back.
