Our proud ship Was launched 5 May l945 and commissioned 28 October l945 in the Bethlehem Steel Shipyards, San Pedro, California. One of the latest 2200 ton destroyers, converted into a light minelayer, she bears the name of the late Bear Admiral Aaron Ward, USN, who commanded the USS Wasp during the Spanish-American War, a ship that distinguished herself and her captain. Two other ships have also borne this celebrated name: DD l32, a l2UU ton ship transferred to the British early in the War, and the DD483, a valiant l6'5O tonner that participated in the Battle of Savo lsland and invasion of Guadalcanal before she was sunk on 7 April l943. The Aaron Ward, lll, helped blaze the way for the invasion of Okinawa, and later served as Radar Picket Vessel in that campaign during The Kamikaze Blitz . With her performance on 3 May, our ship joined the ranks of Navy irnmortals, and Won for herself undying fame as the ship that can't be licked. -IH-
