h4. History
The real-life [i]Take[/i] had a mostly unremarkable career composed of convoy escort duties. Her only remarkable battle was during the Battle of Ormoc Bay on December 3, 1944 while escorting convoy TA-7; that battle saw sister ship [i]Kuwa[/i] as well as [i]USS Cooper[/i] being sunk and the historical [i]Take[/i] being driven off. The historical [i]Take[/i] was used as a repatriation ship after World War II. She was turned over to British forces in 1947 and was then scrapped.
