All of the ships named have long disappeared
from the active list of ships of the United
States Navy.
The USS CALLAGHAN (DD-792) was sunk by a
kamikaze aircraft at Okinawa on July 25,
1945, the last American warship lost in
World War II.
The USS SLATER (DE-766), decommissioned
after WWII, in 1951 was conveyed to Greece
where she became the EATOS in the Greek
Navy. Later inactivated, in 1991 she
was donated by Greece to the U.S. Destroyer
Escort Historical Foundation, and in 1993
returned to the U.S. where she was later
restored to become the USS SLATER (DE-766)
historical ship museum in Albany, New York.
Note: Names of others who
served aboard the USS SAN FRANCISCO and
later had ships named after them, such as
Lt.Cdr. Bruce McCandless, Medal of Honor
recipient, will be later posted in a
separate list. |
