USS Francovich (DE-379)

The first USS Francovich (DE-379) was a proposed World War II United States Navy John C. Butler-class destroyer escort that was never completed.

The name Francovich was assigned to DE-379 on 31 May 1944. She was scheduled to be built at Consolidated Steel Corporation at Orange, Texas, but her construction was cancelled on 6 June 1944.

The name Francovich was reassigned to destroyer escort USS Francovich (DE-606), which was converted during construction into fast transport USS Francovich (APD-116).
