USS John M. Bermingham (DE-530) was an Evarts class destroyer escort constructed for the United States Navy during World War II.

On 10 Dec 1941, Lt Bermingham was in Manila awaiting transport back to the United States witnessed the attack on the US Naval Base, Cavite.

Despite the Japanese air superiority, Bermingham succeeded in bringing his ship to Darwin, Australia, to operate with Allied forces attempting to hold Malay Barrier.

Departing on 14 June, she escorted the ships to the English Channel; and, after steaming to Belfast on 23 July, she returned to Boston, Massachusetts on 2 August 1944.

Bermingham sailed on 19 September with other escort vessels to convoy a large group of Army tugs and barges for use in the important captured ports of northern France.

After training, Bermingham was assigned to regular convoy runs between American ports and Oran, Algeria, in support of the giant land offensive underway in Europe.
