USS CALLAGHAN DDG 994) THE LEGACY AND THE SHIP USS CALLAGHAN (DDG 994) i the second KIDD-class Guided Missile Destroyer and the second ship of the fleet to bear the name. Her namesake, RADM Daniel J. Callaghan, a San Francisco native, was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for preventing a far superior Japanese force from attacking Guadalcanal in 1942. His outnumbered cruisers and destroyers fought in the most violent night combat action in history near what is called “Iron Bottom Sound”. RADM Callaghan was killed by a direct hit on the bridge of his flagship, USS SAN FRANCISCO. Shortly thereafter, on November 27. 1943, the first USS CALLAGHAN (1)1) 972), a FLETCHER class de- stroyer. was commissioned. Her short hut exciting life was highlighted by submarine attack, air attack, escort duty, search and rescue missions, and typhoons. The ship finally met her fate in the early morning hours of July 29. 1945. when a Kamikaze crashed amidships less than ninety minutes before the ship was scheduled to head home from duty off Okinawa. Today’s USS CALLAGHAN (DDG 994) is far more capable than her predecessor. She is designed to meet and defeat threats from t he air, other ships, or submarines with state of the art combat systems and jet engine pro- pulsion system capable of high speeds. 2
