General Characteristics and Role
The USS Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr. (DD-850) is a Gearing-class destroyer of the United States Navy. Commissioned late in World War II, the Gearing class represented the ultimate evolution of the wartime destroyer, featuring an extended hull for greater fuel capacity and range compared to the preceding Fletcher and Allen M. Sumner classes. DD-850 is named for Lieutenant Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr., the elder brother of President John F. Kennedy, who was killed in action in 1944. The ship participated in the Korean War, the Cuban Missile Crisis blockade (earning the Presidential Unit Citation), and the Vietnam War. She has since been preserved as a museum ship in Fall River, Massachusetts.
