USS Sarsfield (DD-837) was a Gearing-class destroyer commissioned by the United States Navy in 1945, shortly before the end of World War II. Named after Eugene Sarsfield, a World War II naval officer killed in action, the destroyer served primarily during the Cold War, participating in various Atlantic and Mediterranean operations, including NATO exercises and patrols. Sarsfield played a vital role during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 by enforcing the naval quarantine of Cuba. The ship continued to serve until 1977, after which it was transferred to the Republic of China (Taiwan) Navy, where it was renamed ROCS Te Yang (DD-925).

USS Jonas Ingram (DD-938) was a Forrest Sherman-class destroyer commissioned by the United States Navy in 1957. Named in honor of Admiral Jonas H. Ingram, the ship served extensively during the Cold War, participating in fleet exercises, Mediterranean deployments, and NATO operations. In addition to her routine patrols, she took part in the Cuban Missile Crisis blockade in 1962 and supported space mission recoveries. After over two decades of active service, USS Jonas Ingram was decommissioned in 1983 and later sunk as a target in 1988.
