USS Guest (DD-472)
USS ''Guest'' (DD-472), a ''Fletcher''-class destroyer, was a ship of the United States Navy named for Commodore John Guest (1822–1879).
''Guest'' was launched 20 February 1942 by the Boston Naval Shipyard; sponsored by Mrs. Ann Guest Walsh, granddaughter of Com. Guest; commissioned 15 December 1942, Commander Henry Crommelin in command. ''Guest'' decommissioned in 1946 and was transferred on loan to the Brazilian Navy in 1959, where she served as ''Pará'' (D27). She was stricken in 1979 and was sunk as a target ship in 1983.
==1943==
After shakedown training at Guantanamo Bay, ''Guest'' made a cruise to Trinidad with aircraft carrier ''Independence'' (CVL-22). This was followed by a convoy escort voyage from New York to Casablanca and return to Boston (28 April – 31 May 1943). She departed Boston 20 July for brief training in Hawaiian waters, then joined the 3rd Fleet 28 August at Efate, New Hebrides Islands. After an offensive sweep to the Santa Cruz Islands and several escort missions to Nouméa, New Caledonia, she departed Efate 28 October for invasion of Bougainville. She guarded transports during the initial landings 1 November assisting in shooting down two enemy bombers. In the following months she escorted troop and logistic convoys from Guadalcanal to Cape Torokina, twice driving off bombers and torpedo planes which attacked her convoy. She silenced Japanese coastal defense guns at Motupene Point, Bougainville, 4 December 1943, and bombarded the Saba River area 25 January 1944.
