For what it's worth ~~ at least four destroyers have been named for Truxtun, the third was DD-229. "The third Truxtun (DD-229) was laid down on 3 December 1919 at Philadelphia, Pa., by William Cramp & Sons; launched on 28 September 1920; sponsored by Miss Issueless Truxtun Brambly; and commissioned at the Philadelphia Navy Yard on 16 February 1921, Lt. Comdr. Melville S. Brown in command."

Earlier this month, I posted the lyrics to Loss of the Truxtun and Pollux. That particular ship was lost on February 18, 1942, when it ran aground in Placentia Bay, Newfoundland. "Truxtun ran aground on Ferry land Point. She broke up almost immediately after grounding and in spite of the heroic efforts of the local populace, lost 110 members of her crew to the elements. Her name was struck from the Navy list on 25 March 1942."
