USS Cushing is named after Commander William Barker Cushing, a Naval
hero of
the American Civil War. After brilliant service in the blockading fleet
off
the North Carolina coast, his plans to outfit torpedo boats with a
spar
torpedo and destroy the formidable and dangerous Confederate ram Albermarle
were used successfully. He was honored by being promoted to Flag Officer
by
Congress. Commander Cushing died on December 17, 1874 at the age of
thirty-two. USS Cushing DD985 is the twenty-third SPRUANCE Class Destroyer
to be designed and built by Ingalls Shipbuilding Division of Litton
Industries in Pascagoula, Mississippi. Homeported in Yokosuka Japan,
Cushing
is assigned to Commander, Destroyer Squadron Fifteen.
