DD850 now proudly displays her colors as a museum
ship to educate the public and serve as a
memorial to those who sailed aboard destroyers. She
is a National Historic Landmark located
in Battleship Cove at Fall River, MA and is a member
of the Historic Naval Ships

of her profession and conspicuous devotion to duty".
