USS TWEEDY (DE-532) was a John C. Butler-class destroyer escort commissioned by the United States Navy in 1944. Named in honor of Lieutenant Albert William Tweedy, Jr., the ship served primarily in the Atlantic during World War II, performing convoy escort and anti-submarine patrol duties. After the war, USS TWEEDY was placed in reserve, but she was recommissioned during the 1950s for training and sonar testing assignments amid Cold War tensions. The vessel was eventually decommissioned and struck from the Naval Vessel Register in 1972.
