DD547

USS Brown (DD-546) was a Fletcher-class destroyer of the United States Navy, commissioned in July 1943. She served with distinction in the Pacific Theater during World War II, participating in major operations such as the Mariana and Palau Islands campaigns, the Battle of Leyte Gulf, and the Okinawa campaign. Brown provided vital anti-aircraft and anti-submarine screening for carrier task forces, as well as shore bombardment support for amphibious assaults. After World War II, she was decommissioned but later recommissioned for service during the Korean War, before being finally decommissioned in 1962.
