The USS Coffman (DE-191) was a Cannon-class destroyer escort laid down on September 9, 1943, and launched on November 28, the same year. It was commissioned on December 27, 1943, under Lt. Comdr. W. H. Putnam’s command with the hull number DE-191 and served in the US Navy for 3 years until it was decommissioned on April 30, 1946. During its activity, the ship carried a complement of 216 men on board and had its main missions in Bizerte, Casablanca, Iceland, Rhode Island, and Virginia. After the decommissioning, the ship was struck on July 1, 1972, and sold for scrapping the following year.
