The USS Errol was named after an island off the coast of Louisiana. But cannot as yet find an island with that name?

Errol Island was a on the southern end of the chandeleur islands. Time, tides, current, storm and the ocean is slowly destroying outer barrier islands. Where Errol island once existed is now water.
