Fletcher Class (also La Vallette class)
Note: According to tradition, U.S. Navy classes are named for
the lowest-hull-numbered ship in the class. When built, the USS Fletcher
(DD-445) was that ship for this class. In 1949, however, some ships of this
class were designated as Escort Destroyers (DDE). At that point, the USS La
Vallette (DD-448) became the lowest-hull-numbered ship of of the ships that
stayed as DDs and, therefore, starting in 1949 some of these ships would have
been properly known as La Vallette-class destroyers.
