USS ''Porter'' (DD-800) was a ''Fletcher''-class destroyer of the United States Navy, the fourth Navy ship named for Commodore David Porter (1780–1843), and his son Admiral David Dixon Porter (1813–1891). ''Porter'' was laid down by the Todd Pacific Shipyards, Inc., Seattle, Wash., 6 July 1943; launched 13 March 1944; sponsored by Miss Georgiana Porter Cusachs; and commissioned 24 June 1944; Commander R. R. Prince in command. ==History== After shakedown off San Diego, Calif., ''Porter'' sailed for duty off Adak, Alaska 16 September 1944. On 21 November 1944, with Task Force 92 (TF 92), she made an offensive sweep against the Kurile Islands and bombarded enemy military installations on Matsuwa. She made another offensive sweep against the Japanese naval base at Suribachi Wan, Paramushiru, 5 January 1945, and on the night of 18 February bombarded Kurabu Zaki, Paramushiru. On 15 May ''Porter'' participated in the first extensive sweep by surface vessels into the Japanese-controlled Sea of Okhotsk, bombarding Suribachi Wan during the retirement. ''Porter'' bombarded Matsuma again on 10 and 11 June. On 25 June, during another sweep of the Sea of Okhotsk, ''Porter'' encountered a small convoy and sank a 2,000-ton Japanese merchantman with gunfire. When V-J Day came ''Porter'' was undergoing overhaul at Portland, Oreg., where she remained until 1 September. After escorting ''Enterprise'' (CV-6) from Seattle to San Francisco, ''Porter'' underwent refresher training at San Diego, then steamed for the east coast.
