In playing the game, I noticed that destroyers did not have names. I found this site http://www.battleships-cruisers.co.uk/us.htm which lists warships used in the war. There are some events described by participants.

Yes you can rename them, that is the reason that I looked up the names. When playing the game I also learn a little history at the same time and try to rename the ships based on the time period they were built.

Lolz.

Back on topic, destroyers were named, just not as frequently. To name few there was DD-354 and the DD-139

Why do I name ships? In playing the game, I attempt to find out a little bit about the various fighting men and women in WW II. I live in the US and was born the same year US entered the war. By looking up information about the war, I am relearning things that happened during my life time. For the short answer, I am honoring some of the men and vessels that fought in the war (and an old guy with lots of time on his hands). This is not only a game, but a learning tool for me. Anther site listing US ships during the war: http://www.ibiblio.org/hyperwar/USN/USN-ships.html.
