Hobby (APD-95), ex-DE-236, was a United States Navy high-speed transport in commission from 1945 to 1946. William M. Hobby was laid down as the Rudderow-class destroyer escort USS William M. Hobby (DE-236) on 15 November 1943 by the Charleston Navy Yard at Charleston, South Carolina. She was built in a drydock and floated out on 2 February 1944, so there was no formal launching. The ship was reclassified as a Crosley-class high-speed transport and redesignated APD-95 on either 17 June 1945[3] or 17 July 1944.[4] After conversion to her new role, she was simultaneously christened -- sponsored by Miss Catherine Hobby, sister of the ship's namesake, Commander William M. Hobby -- and commissioned on 4 April 1945 with Lieutenant Commander Frank. N. Christiansen, USNR, in command.
