Bullard (DD-660) was laid down 16 October 1942, launched 28 February 1943 by Federal Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Co., Kearny, N. J.; sponsored by Mrs.
Bullard, widow of Rear Admiral Bullard; and commissioned 9 April 1943, Commander G. Hartwig in command.
After the cessation of hostilities Bullard remained in the Far East engaged in occupation duties until 10 November 1945 when she departed for San Pedro, Calif., arriving 3 December.
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).
She was employed in the suppression of piracy on that station and in the West Indies until sold in 1822.
Rear Admiral Bullard retired in 1922 and died in Washin gton, D. C., 24 November 1927.
With the exception of one voyage to California (10 September 1944-18 February 1946) she operated constantly in forward areas of the Pacific rendering fire support, plane guard, patrol, and radar picket services.
The antiaircraft fire set the plane aflame as he passed over the destroyer and splashed 50 feet away on her starboard quarter.
Kidd stopped dead in the water, but soon damage-control crews enabled her to get underway, and she steamed back to TG 58.3 escorted by Black, Chauncey, and Bullard.
Black and her colleagues combined to destroy the plane, and it fell into the sea close aboard Bullard.
Built at Federal Shipbuilding and Dry-dock Company of Kearny, New Jersey, KIDD was one of four destroyers [USS BULLARD (DD-660), USS THORN (DD-647), and USS TURNER (DD-648)] launched on February 28, 1943 in a record-breaking fourteen minutes.
She and the other ships of her squadron were among the first to encounter the Japanese planes which came out to meet the great armada threatening Japan's shores.
KIDD was in the vanguard position with BULLARD the following morning when they steamed to within eleven miles of the Japanese shoreline, her navigator taking bearings on enemy lighthouses.

Soon after, another "Zeke" come in, was hit, and tried unsuccessfully to crash into the USS BULLARD (DD-660).
