USS COCHRANE is the first ship of the Navy to bare the name of Vice Admiral Edward Lull Cochrane, USN. Though she is the seventh guided missile destroyer to employ the single arm TARTAR launcher, she is the second ship of the class to have the bow mounted sonar. Her complement consists of 22 officers and 285 enlisted men who are provided with modern accommodations. Built by Pudget Sound Bridge and Dry Dock Company of Seattle, Washington, COCHRANE had about 1,- 500,000 manhours of work performed on her during the 31 months of construction from the laying of the keel to the day of delivery. COCHRANE carries the most modern weapons afloat for destroyers of her class, giving her the capability to deal effectively with any threat on the high seas. Considerably larger than the destroyers we have known in the past, COCHRANE is a fast, highly maneuverable ship. Her automatic combustion control power plant enables her to carry with great speed and mobility any task to which she is assigned. Her powerful sonar, ASROC, and torpedo installations equip her to detect, fight, and kill submarines at extended ranges. With her TARTAR guided missile she is capable of intercepting and destroying enemy aircraft many miles from the ship. She is equipped with the most modern communications and electronics installations, and not only can she swiftly detect and track targets but she can rapidly deliver the missiles and projectiles against these targets, be they in the air, on the sea, or under the sea, or on land. This modern guided missile destroyer is equipped to meet the challenges of today and the future. USS COCHRANE joined Cruiser-Destroyer Force, United States Pacific Fleet in March 1964, and became the flagship of Destroyer Division TWO FIFTY TWO. She is presently a member of Destroyer Squadron TWENTY-FIVE of Destroyer Flotilla FIVE based at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
