USS CUSHING is named after Commander William Barker Cushing, a Naval hero of the Civil War. Born in Delafield, Wis., Nov. 4, l842 he entered the Naval Academy in IS57. He became lieu- tenant on July I6, l862, and subse- quently attained the rank of com- mander on Jan. 3l, l872.

On Oct. 27, l864, Cushing in a torpedo boat manned by vol- Commander William B.

For this action, Cushing was promoted and officially thanked by Congress, the only non-flag officer of the war to be so honored. ln four years he had risen from midshipman to lieutenant com- mander.
