Powers (DE-528) was an Evarts-class destroyer escort of the United States Navy during World War II.
She was sent off into dangerous North Atlantic Ocean waters to protect convoys and other ships from German submarines and fighter aircraft.
She performed escort and anti-submarine operations in battle areas before sailing home victorious at the end of the conflict.
In the months that followed, the ship made three more escort voyages to Casablanca, departing Mers El Kébir on 7 May 1945, the day of the German surrender.
Powers returned to New York on 23 May 1945 and, after maneuvers in Casco Bay, Maine, arrived Miami, Florida, on 21 July for duty as a training ship.
