EspañolUSS BULL
Two ships of the United States Navy have borne the name 'USS ''Bull''', in honor of Lieutenant (junior grade) Richard Bull (1914–1942), a naval aviator who was posthumously awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross.
★ The first, ''Bull'' (DE-52), was a ''Buckley''-class destroyer escort, launched in 1943, and transferred to the Royal Navy, in which she served as HMS ''Bentinck'' (K314). The ship was returned to the United States and struck in 1946.
★ The second, ''Bull'' (DE-693/APD-78), was a ''Buckley''-class destroyer escort, launched in 1943 and converted to a ''Charles Lawrence''-class high-speed transport in 1944. She was struck in 1966, and sold to Taiwan where she served as ROCS ''Lu Shan'' (PF-36), until she was struck and scrapped in 1995.
