USS Hurst (DE-250)

The second USS Hurst (DE-250) was an Edsall-class destroyer escort built for the United States Navy during World War II. She was laid down in January 1943 and launched in August the same year by the widow of namesake Edwin William Hurst, who had been awarded two Distinguished Flying Crosses earlier in the war. The ship served in both the Atlantic and the Pacific and was decommissioned in May 1946 and placed in reserve for the next 27 years.

In October 1973, the former Hurst was acquired by the Mexican Navy and renamed ARM Comodoro Manuel Azueta (A06) but was renamed ARM Comodoro Manuel Azueta Perillos in 1994. When she reverted to her original Mexican name in 2001, she was assigned pennant number D111 and reclassified as destroyer. As of 2007, Comodoro Manuel Azueta remained in active service as a training vessel for Mexico's Gulf Fleet.
