USS Cassin Young, Fletcher-class destroyer at Charlestown Navy Yard, Boston, United States
The USS Cassin Young measures 376 feet in length and features five dual-purpose guns, ten torpedo tubes, and multiple anti-aircraft weapons on its deck.
After participating in the Battle of Leyte Gulf in 1944, the destroyer rescued 120 sailors from the sinking aircraft carrier Princeton during Pacific operations.
The National Park Service maintains this floating memorial as part of Boston National Historical Park, representing naval engineering and wartime service.
Visitors can explore the vessel at no cost across from USS Constitution, though certain areas remain closed due to preservation requirements.
The ship survived two direct kamikaze strikes during the Battle of Okinawa in 1945 while serving as a radar picket vessel against aerial attacks.
