USS England (DE-635)

USS England

USS England (DE-635), a Buckley-class destroyer escort of the United States Navy, was named in honour of Ensign John C. England (1920–1941), who was killed in action aboard the battleship Oklahoma during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941. Her sinking of six Japanese submarines in twelve days is a feat unparalleled in the history of antisubmarine warfare.
