Excerpt: This is a list of destroyers of the United States Navy, sorted by hull number. It includes all of the series DD, DL, DDG, DLG, and DLGN. CG-47 Ticonderoga and CG-48 Yorktown were approved as destroyers (DDG-47 and DDG-48) and redesignated cruisers before being laid down; it is uncertain whether CG-49 Vincennes and CG-50 Valley Forge were ever authorized as destroyers by the United States Congress (though the fact that the DDG sequence resumes with DDG-51 Arleigh Burke argues that they were).

USS Bainbridge (DD-1) USS Wickes (DD-75) USS Buchanan (DD-131) USS Elliot (DD-146) USS Cowell (DD-167) DD-224 through DD-229 USS Reuben James (DD-245) USS Farragut (DD-300) USS Farragut (DD-348) USS Helm (DD-388) USS Fletcher (DD-445) USS Stephen Potter (DD-538) USS Charles Ausburne (DD-570) USS Killen (DD-593) USS Braine (DD-630) USS Wedderburn (DD-684) USS Ault (DD-698) USS Aaron Ward (DM-34) USS Hawkins (DD-873) USS Spruance (DD-963) USS Kinkaid (DD-965) The DLG sequence was deactivated in the 1975 fleet realignment. DL-1 through DL-5 had been decommissioned prior to this time; DLG-6 Farragut through DLG-15 Preble became DDG-37 through DDG-46. DLG-16 Leahy through DLGN-40 Mississippi became CG-16 through CGN-40. USS Arkansas (CGN-41) (CGN-41 Arkansas was authorized after the 1975 fleet reorganization and was never designated with or carried the hull classification symbol DLGN) The guided missile destroyer sequence has three irregularities: four DDGs are numbered as if they were Destroyers in the main sequence (DDG-993, -994, -995 and -996), two were redesignated as guided missile cruisers (CG) (DDG-47 and DDG-48), and two numbers were skipped (DDG-49 and DDG-50). The Zumwalt class picks up at DDG-1000. USS Decatur (DDG-31)
