USS Kinkaid (DD-965) was a Spruance-class destroyer commissioned into the United States Navy on December 9, 1976. Named in honor of Admiral Thomas C. Kinkaid, the ship served extensively in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, supporting carrier battle groups and conducting various operations, including Middle East Force deployments and Operation Desert Storm in 1991. Throughout her service, USS Kinkaid participated in joint exercises with allied navies and performed escort, anti-submarine, and surface warfare missions. After nearly three decades of active service, she was decommissioned on January 6, 2003, and later sunk as a target in 2004.
