USS Hamner (DD-718)

USS Hamner (DD-718) was a Gearing-class destroyer commissioned by the United States Navy in 1945. Named after Henry Rawlings Hamner, she served prominently during the Korean War, providing naval gunfire support and screening aircraft carriers. In the Vietnam War, Hamner undertook multiple deployments, supporting shore bombardments and search-and-rescue missions. After decades of service, the destroyer was decommissioned in 1979 and was later transferred to the Turkish Navy, where she served as TCG Alcitepe (D 346).
