USS The Sullivans (DD-537) was an American destroyer from World War II and the post-war period. The keel for this unit was laid in 1942, and the launch took place in April 1943. The total length of the ship at the time of launching was 114.76 meters and a width of 12.09 meters. The displacement reached approx. 2,050 tons, and the maximum speed was approx. 35 knots. The armament at the time of the launch consisted of five 127 mm guns, 10 40 mm guns, 7 20 mm anti-aircraft guns and 10 533 mm torpedo tubes.

USS The Sullivans (DD-537) was one of 175 Fletcher-class destroyers. Units of this type were designed and built on a massive scale to accelerate the decommissioning process of the obsolete US Navy destroyer dating back to the First World War. Fletcher-class ships were designed from the beginning to work with large ships of the US Navy, as well as had strong anti-aircraft armament. They were also characterized by the so-called a smooth hull without a step amidships. The USS The Sullivans was built at the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation in San Francisco, California. The destroyer was named after the five Sullivan brothers who died aboard the USS Juneau during the naval battle near Guadalcanal in November 1942. The destroyer USS The Sullivans in 1944 took part in the struggle for Kwajalein or in the Battle of the Philippine Sea. A year later, it participated in the shelling of Okinawa Island in the course of the US Marines landing on it. In 1946, the unit was transferred to the reserve, but in 1951 it was returned to active service and took an active part in the Korean War (1950-1953). The unit was finally decommissioned in 1974. At present, it serves as a museum ship.
