USS Austin, named for Chief Carpenter John Arnold Austin (1905-1941) killed in action on board USS Oklahoma (BB-37) during the attack on the Fleet in Pearl Harbor by enemy Japanese forces on 7 December 1941 and posthumously awarded the Navy Cross, was an Evarts (GMT) class destroyer escort built by the Mare Island Navy Yard at Vallejo in California and launched by Mrs. W. C Springer. USS Austin was berthed with the Pacific Reserve Fleet at the Terminal Island Naval Shipyard until stricken from the Naval Vessel Register. The Terminal Island Naval Shipyard completed scrapping her on 9 January 1947.
