Hobby

USS Hobby (DD-610) was a Benson-class destroyer in the United States Navy during World War II. She was named for James H. Hobby.
Hobby was launched on 4 June 1942 by the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, San Francisco, California; sponsored by Mrs. Walter Davis, whose four sons were on active duty with the Navy; and commissioned on 18 November 1942, Lieutenant Commander Ernest Blake in command.
Hobby, like most of the Benson-class destroyers, doesn't have a colorful history. She operated as an anti-submarine screening ship and made contact with several enemy submarines. Though, is only credited with damaging one. Ultimately, she survived the war and was sunk as a target ship in the 70's.
==Trivia==
Her skill "Little Star", her self-intro, and her overall "movie-star" personality reference the same thing. The footage of her launching was used in the 1943 film "Destroyer" where she depicted the fictional USS John Paul Jones.
She repeatedly mentions being the "one and only Hobby". Most other US ships from WWII either had previous ships with the same name, or had newer ship built with the same name in later years. However, there as only ever been one USS Hobby.
