USS Michell DE-43

The USS Michell (DE-43) was an Evarts-class destroyer escort commissioned by the United States Navy during World War II. Launched in June 1943, she was named in honor of Ensign John Allen Michell, who was killed in action during the Battle of Midway. Throughout her service, USS Michell was primarily assigned to escort convoys and provide anti-submarine protection in the Pacific Theater, supporting operations in the Solomon Islands and other key locations. After the war, she was decommissioned in November 1945 and subsequently scrapped, earning several battle stars for her wartime contributions.
