Shortly thereafter, on November 27.1943. the first USS CALLAGHAN (DO- 792). a FLETCHER class destroyer, was commissioned.

July 29.1945. when a kamikaze crashed amidship's less that ninety minutes before the ship was scheduled to head for home. Today s USS CALLAGHAN (DDG-944) is far more capable than her prede- cessor.
