# USS Fowler

USS Fowler (DE-222) was a Buckley-class destroyer escort in service with the United States Navy from 1944 to 1946. She was scrapped in 1967.

## History

Fowler was named in honor of Lieutenant (junior grade) Robert L. Fowler (1919-1942), who was killed in action, while serving aboard the destroyer Duncan (DD-485) during the Battle of Cape Esperance on the night of 11–12 October 1942. He was posthumously awarded the Navy Cross. Fowler was launched on 3 July 1943 by Philadelphia Navy Yard; sponsored by Mrs. Robert L. Fowler, III, widow of Lieutenant (junior grade) Fowler; and commissioned on 15 March 1944.
Between 22 May 1944 and 15 May 1945, Fowler made six voyages to escort convoys from New York, Norfolk, and Boston to ports in northern Africa, guarding men and supplies destined for the operations in Italy and southern France.
The fifth such voyage, between 1 February and 16 March 1945, was marked by the presence of submarines both outward and homeward bound. On 17 February, west of Gibraltar, two of the merchantmen were torpedoed, but both were brought safely into Gibraltar, one after Fowler had stood by to screen while a tug came out to help. Two days out of Oran homeward bound on 28 February, Fowler picked up a sound contact, and made an urgent attack which brought debris to the surface. A second attack, made in coordination with a French escort, was believed to have sunk U-869, however, as this submarine was subsequently found off the coast of New Jersey, what, if anything, was attacked remains unknown.
In June 1945, Fowler began serving as a target and escort to submarines training out of New London, Connecticut, then in September, arrived at Miami, Florida, to serve as schoolship for the Naval Training Center. Her final duty, in November, was as plane guard for the escort carrier Charger (CVE-30) in Chesapeake Bay. Fowler arrived at Green Cove Springs, Florida on 10 January 1946, and there was decommissioned and placed in reserve on 28 June 1946.
Fowler was struck from the Naval Vessel Register on 1 July 1965, and sold for scrapping on 29 December 1966.

## Awards

Fowler received one battle star for World War II service.

# USC&GS Patton

USC&GS Patton (ASV-80) was a survey ship that served in the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey from 1941 to 1967.
Patton was designed for the Coast and Geodetic Survey by H. C. Hanson of Seattle who had also designed sister ship E. Lester Jones. The design became a standard for other agency vessels of the size and type. The ship was built by Silvert Sagstad in 1941 at Sagstad Shipyards, Seattle at a cost of $150,000. The vessel was wooden construction, 88 ft (26.8 m) in length, a 21 ft (6.4 m) beam and 8 ft (2.4 m) draft. Hull construction was of heavy and divided by four watertight bulkheads. Patton was powered by twin six cylinder, 150 horsepower, Cooper-Bessemer diesel engines driving twin 48 in (1.22 m) propellers. Electrical power was by means of two 14 horsepower generating sets. A boiler provided heat for radiators. Survey equipment included a Fathometer with special generator wiring and switchboard.
The vessel was equipped for long range cruising with a range of about 4,500 nmi (5,200 mi; 8,300 km). Crew quarters were forward with wardroom aft. Galley, mess room, washrooms and other accommodations were in the deck house.
She served in the Pacific during her Survey career, including in Alaskan waters. Patton was retired in 1967 and sold. The ship became the private yacht St Croix then sold as Triton and later renamed Gyrfalcon. She is based in the Seattle, Washington, area.
# USC&GS Matchless

USC&GS Matchless was a wood, two masted schooner that served as a survey ship in the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey from 1885 to 1919. She was the only Coast and Geodetic Survey ship to bear the name and the last sailing vessel owned and operated by the Survey.
Matchless was built at Key West, Florida, in 1859. The Coast and Geodetic Survey acquired her in 1885 and placed her in service that year. She was rebuilt at a cost of $50,000 (USD) in 1895.
Was in the Philippines during the early 1910s.
On February 28, 1915, officers and crew of Matchless helped put out a fire on Main Street in Edenton, North Carolina. On September 16, 1917, she helped the steamer White Wings off a shoal.
While returning from Roanoke Island to Elizabeth City, North Carolina after completion of work in Croatan and Roanoke Sounds the Matchless was caught and held in ice from about December 24, 1917 until January 17, 1918. The ship then engaged in surveys requested by the Navy in the lower Chesapeake Bay, the York River and Mattaponi River during the first half of 1918.
In her last years Matchless was used "as a house-boat" from which parties surveyed inland waters. She was surveyed and condemned in 1919, retired from Coast and Geodetic Survey service and sold June 28, 1919. The crew from the Matchless transferred to the steamer USC&GS Onward with the task of continuing the surveys in the York River and west shore of Chesapeake Bay.
# Mississippi Highway 363

Mississippi Highway 363 (MS 363) is a state highway in Itawamba and Lee counties in northeastern Mississippi. It travels for a length of 20.9 miles (33.6 km).

## Route description

MS 363 begins in the community of Peppertown, about three miles (4.8 km) west of Itawama County's county seat of Fulton. The highway's southern terminus is at MS 178, however some signage for MS 363 appears west along MS 178 to its interchange with Interstate 22/U.S. Route 78 (I-22/US 78). MS 363 heads north and northwest towards Mantachie. In the center of town, it intersects MS 371. Continuing its course northwest and north, the highway passes a few businesses near the town center but its surroundings becomes more rural with some open fields and houses lining the road. At Centerville, MS 363 exits the town limits of Mantachie, briefly curves towards the west, then resumes a northwest heading. At the community of Ratliff, the highway curves to the west again and enters Lee County. In Lee County, the surroundings turn to more woods. It has an interchange with the Natchez Trace Parkway (a pair of quadrant interchanges) and then enters Saltillo. In the western part of the city, MS 363 is known as Mobile Street and passes through a residential neighborhood. Upon crossing a railroad, it heads west through the central business district of Saltillo. At 3rd Avenue, MS 366 meets MS 766 at its southern terminus. Past there, the highway heads through another residential neighborhood before curving to the north, curving back to the west, and ending at MS 145.

## History

The portion of highway from Peppertown to Mantachie had been part of the state highway since at least 1928. Around 1950, the designation of MS 363 was assigned on this highway from US 78 at Peppertown to Mantachie and then further north along modern-day MS 371 to MS 4 at Hobo Station, Prentiss County. A state highway, initially designated MS 371, connecting Mantachie with Saltillo was created in 1956. Around 1965, MS 363 and MS 371 swapped alignments north of Mantachie with MS 363 heading west to Saltillo at US 45 and MS 371 heading north to MS 4. MS 363 has not had any major changes since then.
