  • The USS Shelton (DE-407) was a John C. Butler-class destroyer escort (DE) built for the United States Navy during World War II. Named for Ensign James A. Shelton, (a naval aviator who was reported missing during the Battle of Midway), she was the first of two U.S. Naval vessels to bear the name. Shelton was laid down on 1 November 1943 by Brown Shipbuilding of Houston, Texas; launched on 18 December 1943; sponsored by Mrs. John Shelton; and commissioned on 4 April 1944 with Lieutenant Lewis B. Salomon, USNR, in command. After fitting out and loading stores, Shelton steamed out of port on 21 April, in company with Edmonds bound for Bermuda on her shakedown cruise. Upon completion, she underwent post-shakedown availability at the Boston Navy Yard from 25 May – 15 June. She departed Boston on 16 June en route to San Diego via New York, Hampton Roads, and Balboa C.Z.
