USS Lofberg (DD 759)

USS Lofberg (DD-759) was an Allen M. Sumner-class destroyer commissioned into the United States Navy in April 1945. Named in honor of Lieutenant Commander William Lofberg, the ship served in the final months of World War II and later saw extensive action during the Korean War, providing gunfire support, screening carriers, and participating in blockade operations. Throughout the Cold War, USS Lofberg operated in both the Pacific and Atlantic fleets, taking part in various training exercises and deployments, including patrols during the Vietnam War. Decommissioned in 1971, the ship was eventually transferred to the Peruvian Navy, where it served under the name BAP Capitan Quiñones.
