High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! USS Doherty (DE-14) was an Evarts class destroyer escort constructed for the United States Navy during World War II. She was sent off into the Pacific Ocean to protect convoys and other ships from Japanese submarines and fighter aircraft. She performed escort and antisubmarine operations in dangerous battle areas and returned home safely at war's end. USS Doherty was named in honor of John Joseph Doherty, who received a Distinguished Flying Cross for his heroic work in the Marshall Islands which resulted in him being lost in action. The ship, originally intended for transfer to Great Britain, was launched on 29 August 1942 as Berry (BDE-14) by Mare Island Navy Yard; retained for use by the United States Navy; named Doherty on 6 January 1943; and commissioned on 6 February 1943, Lieutenant Commander A. Jackson, Jr. in command.
