USS PC-1136

USS PC-1136 was a PC-461-class submarine chaser built for the United States Navy during World War II.

Shortly after the end of the war, she was renamed USS PCC-1136 when she was reclassified as a combat communications control ship.

PC-1136 was laid down at the Defoe Shipbuilding Company, in Bay City, Michigan on 17 December 1942, launched on 5 March 1943, and commissioned at New Orleans, Louisiana on 16 November 1943.

After shakedown, PC-1136 operated out of Miami, and Key West, Florida, while receiving anti-submarine warfare training.

Departing from Key West on 1 January 1944, she steamed via the Panama Canal and the Society and Tonga Islands to arrive at Nouméa, New Caledonia, on 12 March for duty as patrol and escort ship.

PC-1136 reached Guadalcanal on 8 April, and for almost two months she continued intermittent convoy escort and ASW patrol duties out of the Solomons to New Caledonia and the New Hebrides.
