HISTORY OF U.S.S. EVERGLADES AD-24 THE U.S.S. EVERGLADES (AD-24) was named after the Everglades section of Flor- ida. The keel was laid on January 26, 1944 and was launched on January 28, 1945, at the Todd Shipyard, San Pedro, California. Upon completion of outfitting, the EVER- GLADES was assigned to the Pacific Reserve Fleet and inactivated in May 1947. With the advent of the Korean crLsis, she was first commissioned on May 25, 1951 in prepara- tion for accomplishing the mission for which she had been built. After successfully com- pleting Underway Training on August 2, 1951 and several alterations at Long Beach Naval Shipyard, her first extended cruise at sea commenced under the Command of Cap- tain Thomas M. Brown. She left Long Beach qn September 10, 1951 for Norfolk, Virginia, arriving September 27, 1951. Since being assigned Norfolk, Virginia as its home port, the EVERGLADES has com- piled a fine record. Her log book records a scope of operations from New York City to Haiti and from Norfolk to the Eastern shores of the Mediterranean. Her efficiency is ex- emplified by the presentation of the Destroyer Force, U.S. Atlantic Fleet BATTLE EF- FICIENCY PLAQUE in September of 1954. The EVERGLADES has made four Med- iterranean cruises (18 October 1952 to 24 February 1953; 7 February 1955 to 5 July 1955; 11 February 1957 to 4 August 1957 and 10 November 1958 to 8 April 1959) and has performed duties ranging from routine Destroyer Tending to Flagship. After ap- proximately 1 June 1959 her home port will be Charleston, South Carolina.
