USS Menges (DE-320) was an Edsall-class destroyer escort built for the United States Navy during World War II.
After shooting down one of the planes, Menges rescued 137 survivors of USS Lansdale, which had been sunk by a torpedo, and two German aircrew.
Four hours later Menges was taken in tow by HMS Aspirant, and later on 3 May reached Bougie, Algeria to disembark her dead and wounded.
On 23 June, the temporarily repaired Menges got underway from Oran, under tow by USS Carib, bound for New York, and arrived 22 July.
The escort ship moved on to Green Cove Springs, Florida for assignment in March 1946 to the 16th (Inactive Reserve) Fleet.
Menges decommissioned in January 1947 and entered the berthing area in the St. Johns River to spend the next 15 years there in reserve.
