USS Eversole (DE-404) was a John C. Butler-class destroyer escort built for the United States Navy during World War II.

Named for Lieutenant (junior grade) John Thomas Eversole, (a naval aviator who was killed in the opening phases of the Battle of Midway), she was the first of two U.S.

She returned to Eniwetok for antisubmarine patrols until 9 August, when she put to sea screening carriers for the attack on Morotai.

She continued this duty, serving with the escort carriers in the initial assaults in Leyte Gulf on 20 October.

In the early morning of 28 October, Eversole made contact by sonar with a submarine, and half a minute later suffered the first of two torpedo hits.
