	Welcome to the New History of USS Purdy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		PURDY, as the man for whom she was named, had proved herself to be made of the stuff that has established and maintained the valorous tradition of the United States Navy.
		During her deployment Purdy anchored in most of the major ports of the Mediterranean, and in many of the minor ones—Cannes, France, Iraklion, on the island of Crete; Istanbul, Turkey; Naples and Liverne, Italy; and Catanio, Sicily, were a few of the ports that DD-734 visited.
		USS Purdy (DD-734) was decommissioned on 2 July 1973.

		CAPT Robert D. Espeseth, USNR (Ret.), of Champaign, Ill., was an ensign aboard the USS Purdy (DD-734), Task Force 77 and 95.
		The USS Purdy (DD-734) was an Atlantic Fleet destroyer out of Newport, R.I. It was a part of DesDiv 122 and DESRON 12.
		The second cruise left Newport 23 April 1953, this time going from west to east because we were escorting the USS Lake Champlain (CVA-39) and she was too large for the Panama Canal, so we went by way of the Suez Canal.
