USS England (DE-635)

The USS England (DE-635) was a Buckley-class destroyer escort commissioned by the United States Navy in December 1943. Notably, in May 1944, she achieved fame for her extraordinary anti-submarine warfare performance in the Pacific, sinking six Japanese submarines within just 12 days—a record unmatched in naval history. The ship participated in various escort and patrol duties throughout the remainder of World War II, supporting major operations in the Pacific theater. Decommissioned in 1945, the USS England received the Presidential Unit Citation for her remarkable achievements.
