High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! USS Eugene E. Elmore (DE-686) was a Rudderow-class destroyer escort in the United States Navy during World War II. Eugene E. Elmore was launched 23 December 1943 by Bethlehem Steel Co., Quincy, Mass.; sponsored by Mrs. Eugene E. Elmore, widow of Lieutenant Commander Elmore; and commissioned 4 February 1944, Lieutenant Commander G. L. Conkey in command. On 22 April 1944 at Norfolk, Virginia, Eugene E. Elmore joined the antisubmarine group formed around USS Block Island (CVE-21), and sailed for Casablanca to provide cover for convoys moving across the mid-Atlantic. During the return passage, on 29 May, Block Island was torpedoed, as was the escort USS Barr (DE-576). USS Ahrens (DE-575), dead in the water rescuing Block Island survivors, made a submarine contact, and directed Eugene E. Elmore to the target, U-549. Eugene E. Elmore sank the German submarine in 31" 13' N., 23°03' W., then stood by Barr throughout the night, next day taking off her wounded and many of her crew members. She took Barr in tow for Casablanca, and was relieved of her tow one day before reaching port 2 June.
