William C. Miller DE-259
Destroyer Escort William C. Miller DE-259, photographed some time in 1945.
This ship was named for Radioman First Class William C. Miller, of Enterprise's Scouting Squadron Six. Arriving with his pilot, Lt. Clarence E. Dickinson Jr., over Pearl Harbor at the height of the 7 December 1941 Japanese attack, Miller shot down one Zero and continued firing his gun until it was out of ammunition, despite being wounded himself. Either dead or severely wounded, he failed to respond when Dickinson called for him to bail out, and remained with his plane until it crashed in a cane field.
