USS Hank (DD-702) was an Allen M. Sumner-class destroyer commissioned into the United States Navy in August 1944. Named after Lieutenant Commander William Edwin Hank, she participated in World War II, supporting operations during the invasion of Iwo Jima and Okinawa, and conducting anti-aircraft and shore bombardment missions. USS Hank also served in the Korean War, providing gunfire support and screening aircraft carriers. After years of distinguished service, she was decommissioned in 1972 and later transferred to Argentina, where she served as ARA Seguí.
