USS Woolsey (DD-437)
USS ''Woolsey'' (DD-437), a ''Gleaves''-class destroyer, was the 2nd ship to be named ''Woolsey'' in the United States Navy. It is the first to be named for both Commodore Melancthon Brooks Woolsey and his father Commodore Melancthon Taylor Woolsey.
''Woolsey'' was laid down on 9 October 1939 at Bath, Maine by the Bath Iron Works, launched on 12 February 1941, sponsored by Mrs. Irving Spencer, and commissioned on 7 May 1941 with Lieutenant Commander William H. Von Dreele in command.
==World War II operations==
Following a shakedown cruise in the Caribbean Sea, ''Woolsey'' joined the Atlantic Fleet at the beginning of the second week in September. Initially, she served on the Neutrality Patrol, established by President Franklin D. Roosevelt to keep the war in Europe from spreading to the western hemisphere. For a time, she also served as a unit in the screen of the newly commissioned battleship ''North Carolina'' (BB-55). As the year 1941 waned and the United States approached closer and closer to active belligerency, ''Woolsey'' began escorting convoys between the United States and Iceland.
The attack on Pearl Harbor and America's entry into World War II found the destroyer in Iceland completing the first leg of one such round-trip voyage. War brought a change to ''Woolseys range of duties. Her convoy escort work was broadened to include voyages to the British Isles and Puerto Rico. That duty occupied her energies until the fall of 1942 when she participated in her first invasion operation.
