Dd778

USS Sullivans (DD-778) is a Fletcher-class destroyer of the United States Navy, named in honor of the five Sullivan brothers who tragically perished together aboard USS Juneau during World War II. Commissioned in September 1943, the ship participated in numerous Pacific Theater operations, providing anti-aircraft and anti-submarine support during major campaigns such as Okinawa and Iwo Jima. After World War II, USS Sullivans served in the Korean War and later undertook various Cold War deployments, including NATO exercises and Mediterranean patrols. Decommissioned in 1965, she was preserved as a museum ship in Buffalo, New York, serving as a lasting tribute to her namesakes and the sailors who served aboard.
