World War II North Atlantic Operations
The new destroyer escort got under way 17 November 1943 for shakedown out of Bermuda. Newell then sailed, via Charleston, South Carolina., to Norfolk, Virginia, to train pre-commissioning crews for sister ships of her division. Two weeks, later USS Menges, USS Mosley, Newell, USS Pride, USS Falgout, and USS Lowe had assembled and the first convoy voyage began. The division safely escorted a convoy to Casablanca and back.

—Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)
