USS Dearborn (PF-33), a Tacoma-class frigate, is so far the only ship
of the United States Navy to be named for Dearborn, Michigan.
Sailing from Boston, Massachusetts, on 3 November 1944,
Dearborn arrived at NS Argentia, Newfoundland, four days later for duty on weather patrol.
She had similar duty off Bermuda, as well as plane guard and search
and rescue duty until 30 April 1946 when she arrived back at Boston.
On 7 May, she departed for Charleston, South Carolina, arriving there two days later.
Dearborn was decommissioned there on 5 June 1946 and sold on 8 July 1947.
