USS Farragut

Five destroyers of the United States Navy have been named USS Farragut in honor of David Farragut, an admiral of the United States Navy during the American Civil War.

The first Farragut (TB-11), a torpedo boat destroyer, patrolled the Panama Canal during World War I.

The second Farragut (DD-300) was a Clemson-class destroyer that served between World War I and World War II.

The third Farragut (DD-348), the lead ship of her class of destroyers, saw action during World War II.

The fourth Farragut (DDG-37) was a Coontz-class destroyer leader, but was converted during construction. For the first half her Cold War career, she was a guided missile frigate; for the second, a guided missile destroyer.

The fifth USS Farragut (DDG-99) was an flight IIa Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer ordered in 2001, under construction by the Bath Iron Works in Maine, and scheduled to be commissioned in 2006.
