SLATER’s War record
After her commissioning in May 1944, the USS SLATER sailed to Bermuda for her sea trials and to spend time as both a target ship and a sonar school ship. Throughout the end of 1944 and into 1945, the SLATER was assigned to Atlantic convoy duty. Following the Allied victory in Europe on 8 May 1945, the SLATER was sent to the Pacific for further convoy duty, passing through the Panama Canal on 28 June. The ship remained on duty in the Philippines after the war's end, transferring to Green Cove Springs, Florida, in April 1946 for deactivation. The SLATER was decommissioning in May of 1947. See the Ship's Wartime Chronicle for the complete war record and images. See the Ship's Log for the ships's log from May 1944 to June 1946.
