The USS John Hood (DD-655), a Fletcher-class destroyer, was launched in 1943 and commissioned in 1944. During World War II, it served in the North Pacific, harassing Japanese outposts in the Kuril Islands, conducting nine sorties, and sinking enemy ships, including a convoy in August 1945, earning one battle star. Post-war, it supported occupation duties in Japan until 1945. Decommissioned in 1946, it was re-commissioned in 1951, patrolling off Korea (1953–1954), serving in the Mediterranean (1955–1957), and aiding during the Suez Crisis. It later focused on training and antisubmarine exercises until decommissioned in 1964 and scrapped in 1976.
