USS Taylor (DD-468)
USS ''Taylor'' (DD/DDE-468) was a of the United States Navy, named for Rear Admiral William Rogers Taylor (1811–1889). She was laid down on 28 August 1941 at Bath, Maine, by the Bath Iron Works Corp.; launched on 7 June 1942, sponsored by Mrs. H. A. Baldridge; and commissioned on 28 August 1942 at the Charlestown Navy Yard near Boston, Mass., Lieutenant Commander Benjamin Katz in command.
''Taylor'' was the first destroyer to anchor in Japanese coastal waters at the end of World War II — one that, wrote Admiral William F. Halsey, "admirably performed every mission assigned to her."
== World War II ==
''Taylor'' began her naval career with the Atlantic Fleet. Assigned to Destroyer Squadron 20 (DESRON TWO ZERO), the destroyer trained at Casco Bay, Maine, and made her shakedown cruise in the northern Atlantic before beginning duty as a coastwise convoy escort. The latter duty lasted until mid-November when she escorted a transatlantic convoy to a point just off Casablanca. The transit was uneventful, save for the interception of a Spanish merchantman, SS ''Darro''. A boarding party from ''Taylor'' sent the neutral ship off to Gibraltar to prevent her from transmitting information about the convoy to the enemy. ''Taylor'' returned to the United States at Norfolk early in December and remained there until mid-month.
