USS Pope (DE-134) was an Edsall-class destroyer escort built for the United States Navy during World War II. She served in the Atlantic Ocean and provided destroyer escort protection against submarine and air attack for Navy vessels and convoys. She was named after commodore John Pope, born 17 December 1798 in Sandwich, Massachusetts.

Unfortunately commercial salvage divers had discovered Pope previously and save for a skeleton, little now remains of her wreck. [5]
