USS Heermann (DD-532)
USS Heermann (DD-532) was a World War II-era Fletcher-class destroyer in the service of the United States Navy, named after Fleet Surgeon Lewis Heermann (1779–1833). Heermann was launched on 5 December 1942 by the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Co. of San Francisco, California; sponsored by Mrs. Edward B. Briggs, wife of Lieutenant E. B. Briggs, USCGR, great grandson of the namesake; and commissioned on 6 July 1943, Commander Dwight M. Agnew, USN, in command. Heermann gained fame during the "last stand of the Tin-Can Sailors" in which she and several other destroyers of Task Unit 77.4.3 (Taffy 3) engaged a far superior Japanese task force during the Battle off Samar in October 1944. Heermann was the only American destroyer of Taffy 3 to survive the engagement.
