USS CALLAGHAN was the second
ship in the KIDD-class of guided missile
destroyers and the second ship in the Navy named
after Rear Admiral Daniel Judson Callaghan who was
killed in action on November 13, 1942, while leading
a force of US ships against a far superior Japanese
force during the Battle of Guadalcanal.
Originally
built for Iran, the ship was first named DARYUSH,
but after the destroyer's takeover by the U.S. Navy
the ship was renamed CALLAGHAN.
CALLAGHAN was homeported in Everett, Wash., and is
currently situated at the Naval Inactive Ship
Maintenance Facility, Bremerton, Wash.,
awaiting transfer to the Taiwanese Navy.
