USS McMorris (DE-1036) was a Claud Jones-class destroyer escort in service with the United States Navy from 1960 to 1974.

After fitting out on the East Coast of the United States, McMorris proceeded to Naval Station San Diego where she reported to the Cruiser Destroyer Force, Pacific Fleet.

During that tour she became the first destroyer escort to engage in naval gunfire support in the Vietnamese combat zone.

During ASW exercises off Hawaii on 31 January 1967, McMorris was involved in a serious collision with the gasoline tanker USS Tombigbee (AOG-11).

During an overhaul at the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard in 1971, McMorris received a complete redesign of the upper bridge works.

Additional deck spaces were added and a satellite communications antenna was mounted just aft of the second stack.
