USS Silverstein (DE-534) was a John C. Butler-class destroyer escort acquired by the U.S. Navy during World War II. The primary purpose of the destroyer escort was to escort and protect ships in convoy, in addition to other tasks as assigned, such as patrol or radar picket. Silverstein was named in honor of Lt. Max Silverstein who was awarded the Silver Star posthumously for his valiant efforts during the Battle of the Coral Sea.
