USS Cassin Young (DD-793) is a Fletcher-class destroyer of the United States Navy named for Captain Cassin Young (1894–1942), who was awarded the Medal of Honor for his heroism at the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and killed in the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal in the fall of 1942.
Cassin Young (DD-793) was launched 12 September 1943 by Bethlehem Shipbuilding, San Pedro, Los Angeles; sponsored by Mrs. Eleanor Young; and commissioned on 31 December 1943.
After serving in World War II, including the Battle of Leyte Gulf and the Battle of Okinawa, Cassin Young was decommissioned, but was reactivated during the Korean War and continued in active service until 1960. She is preserved today as a memorial ship, berthed at Boston Navy Yard in Massachusetts, across from the USS Constitution. She was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1986 as one of only four surviving Fletcher-class destroyers still afloat.
The USS Cassin Young can now be visited seasonally free of charge in the Boston Navy Yard at Boston National Historical Park.
