De-1014 USS Cromwell

The USS Cromwell (DE-1014) was a Dealey-class destroyer escort commissioned by the United States Navy in 1954. Named after Captain John P. Cromwell, a WWII submarine commander posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor, the vessel primarily served in anti-submarine warfare (ASW) roles during the Cold War era. Throughout its service, the Cromwell participated in numerous NATO exercises, patrolled the Atlantic and Caribbean, and conducted goodwill visits to allied ports. After nearly two decades of service, USS Cromwell was decommissioned in 1972 and later sold for scrap.
