		Burke, who passed away in 1996, was Chief of Naval Operations, but he is probably better known as the commodore of the “Little Beavers,” the eight ships of Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) 23, which “fought their tails off” in the Solomons campaign during World War II.
		In November 1943, from the bridge of his flagship USS Charles Ausburne (DD 570), Burke led several successful attacks against many Japanese warships.
		The first of these ships to be commissioned was USS Decatur (Torpedo-Boat Destroyer No. 5), on May 19, but the honor of being the first American destroyer is usually given to USS Bainbridge (Torpedo-Boat Destroyer No. 1), which the Navy commissioned on Nov. 24.
