The Hoquiam was commissioned in 1943 and assigned to the task of escorting convoys of merchant ships across the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean. These missions were fraught with danger, as the Hoquiam and her crew faced the constant threat of attack from Japanese submarines and aircraft. Despite the risks, the Hoquiam carried out its duties with unwavering determination, helping to ensure the safe passage of vital supplies to Allied forces in the Pacific.
