USS Burgerton (fictional)

USS Burgerton is the lead ship of the Burgerton-class ships, and the first ship to be named after Burgerton, Texas. It was built by Camodo Industries, and is one of the first ships in the navy to be built by a civilian company. It is also one of the only ships still serving the U.S. Navy since 1940.

During World War II, the ship engaged with several German fleets in the Atlantic Ocean It suffered moderate damage, but shelled many german battleships. It then supported troops in the North Sea until the end of World War II in 1945. It had also shelled several Nazi bases in France, and rammed a German submarine in the Bay of Biscay in 1944. In 1950, the ship along with the HMCS Sevenspy (SC-67) (Royal Canadian Navy), USS Obeezerton (OB-32) and USS Brandon (FG-29) were all refitted at the Fright Dockyard for Operation Paperclip, though the ships were not used frequently during the operation. The ship was involved in many secret missions of the U.S. Navy. It was transferred to the Pacific fleet along with the USS Obeezerton and was involved in raids during the Korean War on the North Korean coast. She and the Obeezerton and Brandon were later decomissioned into the United States reserve fleets. She was reactivated in 1987 and continued to serve the navy since then.

The ship was involved in an incident with the Obeezerton in 1988 after the crew of the Burgerton deliberately fired at the Obeezerton, mistaking it for a Soviet Navy ship, killing 60 of the Obeezerton's crew.
