USS Vandivier (DER-540)
USS ''Vandivier'' (DER-540) was laid down at the Boston Navy Yard on 8 November 1943 as a ''John C. Butler''-class destroyer escort DE-540; launched on 27 December 1943; and was sponsored by Mrs. Mary Hardin Vandivier. Since World War II came to an end before she was completed, work on her gradually tapered off and was finally suspended on 17 February 1947. Seven years later, on 1 July 1954, work was resumed to complete her and to convert her to a destroyer escort radar picket ship. She was redesignated DER-540 on 2 September 1954 and was placed in commission on 11 October 1955, with Lt. Comdr. Frank B. Correia in command.
She was named by the U.S. Navy in honor of Norman Francis Vandivier who was awarded the Navy Cross.

During the remainder of 1955, USS ''Vandivier'' completed outfitting at Boston, Massachusetts, moved to Newport, Rhode Island, and prepared for her shakedown cruise. On 14 January 1956, she cleared Newport to conduct her shakedown training in the West Indies. Over the next two months, she operated in the vicinity of Roosevelt Roads, Puerto Rico, and near Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. She also made port visits to Ponce and San Juan in Puerto Rico as well as to Guantánamo Bay and Havana in Cuba.
On 15 March, ''Vandivier'' departed Havana to return to New England. She arrived at Boston on the 20th and underwent post-shakedown availability there until the second week in April, when she returned to Newport to begin duty as a radar picket ship with the Atlantic Fleet.
