	List of United States Navy destroyers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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).
		DDG-47 became USS Ticonderoga (CG-47), shifted to CG 1 Jan 1980
		DDG-48 became USS Yorktown (CG-48), shifted to CG 1 Jan 1980

		My father-in-law Louis Poirot "Frenchy" boarded 609 from Virginia (prior to the Casa Blanca support mission) through the duration of WWII.
		He told me many stories of his service aboard the Gillespie, like how it was so hot in the South Pacific the deck radiated and of wearing Army shoes with thick soles to combat hot feet.
		Louis was wounded near the end of the war and spent some time aboard a hospital ship before returning to duty.

	12 January 1942
		On 12 January, USS Worden was guarding the transport USS Arthur Middleton as that transport put the preliminary Army security unit on the shores of Constantine Harbor Amchitka Island.
		A strong current, however, swept USS Worden onto a pinnacle that tore into her hull beneath her engine room and caused a complete loss of power.
		USS Dewey passed a towline to her stricken sister and attempted to tow her free, but the cable parted, and the heavy seas began moving USS Worden totally without power inexorably toward the rocky shore.
