约瑟夫·肯尼迪号 小（DD-850）是前美国海军装备级驱逐舰。这艘船是以海军飞行员约瑟夫·肯尼迪中尉、前驻英国大使约瑟夫·肯尼迪之子、未来总统约翰·肯尼迪的哥哥的名字命名的。小约瑟夫·肯尼迪在1973年之前一直为现代化服务，但一直中断着。她服务的亮点之一是古巴导弹危机期间对古巴的封锁，以及双子座6号和双子座7号的浮力回收队。小约瑟夫·肯尼迪作为博物馆船在马萨诸塞州法尔河的战舰湾展出。她于1976年被列入国家历史遗迹名录，1989年被指定为国家历史地标，作为少数幸存的齿轮级驱逐舰之一。

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.
