USS Whitman (DE-24)
USS Whitman (DE-24) was an constructed for the United States Navy during World War II. It was promptly sent off into the Pacific Ocean to protect convoys and other ships from Japanese submarines and fighter aircraft. By the end of the war, when she returned to the United States, she had proudly accumulated four battle stars.
She was laid down on 7 September 1942 at the Mare Island Navy Yard, Vallejo, California, and was initially earmarked for transfer to the Royal Navy under lend-lease. However, the U.S. Navy decided to retain the ship for its own use; and she was reclassified to DE-24 on 7 January 1943. She was launched on 19 January 1943; sponsored by Mrs. Josephine P. Whitman, the widow of Lt. (jg.) Robert Scott Whitman〔″WHITMAN, Robert Scott, Jr., Lieutenant (jg), USN. Wife, Mrs. Josephine Porter Whitman,...″ (WWII Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard Casualty List, State Summary of War Casualties, CALIFORNIA, p. 95) ()〕 (died June 4, 1942〔(Entry for Robert S. Whitman, Jr., American Battle Monuments Commission )〕 during the Battle of Midway); and commissioned at Mare Island on 3 July 1943, Lt. Carl E. Bull in command.

After shakedown out of San Diego, California, and post-shakedown availability, ''Whitman'' departed San Francisco, California, on 11 September, escorting Convoy 2298, bound for the Hawaiian Islands. Nine days later, she arrived at Pearl Harbor and safely delivered her charges. She then convoyed the seaplane tender to Canton and Phoenix Islands in early October before she was detached to return to Pearl Harbor.
