0/10 by 0 users
The first Samuel B. Roberts, DE-413, perished in the greatest naval battle ever fought: In October 1944, as part of minimal force protecting jeep carriers in Leyte Gulf, the vessel faced a tremendously superior Japanese fleet. Fighting to the death, the DE-413 was able to fend off much of the Japanese force before sinking to the bottom of the ocean. The name “Samuel B. Roberts” appeared two more times, including the FFG-58, launched in 1984, which participated in Desert Storm, and remains on-call today for homeland security.
