    Military Quotes

    Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster...for when you gaze long into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.

    -- Friedrich Nietzsche

Commissioned in June 1943, her active service was mainly spent on escort and anti-submarine duties in the central Pacific. Wileman returned to the U.S. West Coast in September 1945 and was decommissioned in November. She was sold for scrapping in January 1947.
