MIGHTY "I" |
1944 - 1971 |
The US Navy had four ships named after Captain Duncan Nathaniel Ingraham. The first Ingraham (DD-111) was launched in 1917 as a Destroyer, but her career was short-lived. She was converted to a mine layer - DM-9. Later she was used for target practice and sunk in 1937. Another Ingraham (DD-444) sank in a mid-Atlantic collision with a tanker. The DD-694 was the third Ingraham, our ship did her part in WWII amd earned the Navy Unit Citation for actions off Okinawa and four Battle Stars for her service. She later received a fifth star for service in Korea. The Ingraham was decommisioned in 1971 and transfered to the Greek Navy. she was renamed "Miaoulis" D-211. She was stricken from active duty in 1992 and was anchored in Souda Bay, Crete, Greece. In 2001 she was used for target practice and sunk by the Greek Navy. (It took two torpedos to sink her!) The last ship to carry the name Ingraham is FFG-61 and she is in service in the Pacific Fleet. The FFG-61 is home-ported in Everett, Wa. |
