High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! USS Hollis (DE-794/APD-86) was a Buckley-class destroyer escort of the United States Navy, named in honor of Ensign Ralph Hollis (1906–1941), who was killed on the battleship Arizona during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Hollis was launched by Consolidated Steel Corp., Orange, Texas, on 11 September 1943; sponsored by Mrs. Hermione C. Hollis, widow of Ensign Hollis; and commissioned on 24 January 1944 at Orange, Lieutenant Commander G. D. Kissam in command. Following shakedown in the Atlantic, Hollis made two escort voyages along the East Coast and then reported to Quonset Point, R.I., to assist in sonic research. The aim was to find countermeasures for the German acoustic torpedo, and the destroyer escort remained on this important duty until 28 May, when she sailed to Casablanca in an aircraft carrier screen.
