	List of United States Navy destroyers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This is a list of destroyers of the United States Navy, sorted by hull number.
		It includes all of the series DD, DL, DDG, DLG, DLGN.
		CG-47 Ticonderoga and CG-48 Yorktown were approved as destroyers (DDG-47 and DDG-48) and redesignated cruisers before being laid down; it is uncertain whether CG-49 Vincennes and CG-50 Valley Forge were ever authorized as destroyers by the United States Congress (though the fact that the DDG sequence resumes with DDG-51 Arleigh Burke argues that they were).

	USS Buchanan DD-484 - Bristol class (Livermore)
		Unfortunately the only reference to the camouflage scheme worn by Monssen is the box art (which shows the starboard side) while there is no mention whatsoever of the pattern carried on the port side.
		If you're interested in building a Livermore-class DD in late 1942 kit (Guadalcanal campaign), you may consider picking USS Buchanan DD-484, whose starboard and port sides of her fancy Measure 12 scheme both survive in photographs.
		Both early SC and SC-2 type radar arrays are included (most Livermore-class DD's were fitted with the SC type, at least until early 1943) as well as the Mk.12 Fire Control Radar carrier atop the Mk.37 director.
