USS Herzog (DE-178) was a Cannon-class destroyer escort in service with the United States Navy from 1943 to 1944.

The ship was launched by Federal Shipbuilding & Drydock Co., Newark, New Jersey, on 5 September 1943; sponsored by Mrs. Alice A. Herzog, mother of the namesake; and commissioned on 6 October 1943.

Protecting the ships through the dangerous Caribbean passages, Herzog arrived at the Panama Canal Zone on 27 December.

Working with escort carrier USS Solomons (CVE-67) she searched the seas in the never-ending battle against German submarines.

The ship served Brazil as Beberibe (D-19) and on 30 June 1953 was transferred outright to that country under the Mutual Defense Assistance Program.
