USS Haverfield (DER-393)

USS Haverfield (DER-393) was an Edsall-class destroyer escort commissioned by the United States Navy in 1943. Initially serving during World War II, Haverfield conducted convoy escort and antisubmarine operations in the Atlantic and Pacific theaters. After the war, she was decommissioned, but later recommissioned and converted to a radar picket ship during the Cold War, enhancing the nation's early warning defense system.
