USS Willard Keith (DD-775)
USS ''Willard Keith'' (DD-775), an ''Allen M. Sumner''-class destroyer, is currently the only completed ship of the United States Navy ever named for Willard Keith, a United States Marine Corps captain who died in combat during the campaign for Guadalcanal. He was awarded the Navy Cross for his actions. ''Willard Keith'' (DD-775) was laid down on 5 March 1944 at San Pedro, California, by the Bethlehem Steel Co.; launched on 29 August 1944; sponsored by Mrs. Willard W. Keith, the mother of Capt. Keith; and commissioned two days after Christmas of 1944, Comdr. Lewis L. Snyder in command.
==Cancelled ships==
It is notable that the Navy had two contracts for destroyer escorts that were to be named USS ''Willard Keith''; however, they both were cancelled before they were completed. The contract for the construction of USS ''Willard Keith'' (DE-754)—a ''Cannon''-class destroyer escort whose keel had been laid down on 14 September 1943 at San Pedro, California, by the Western Pipe and Steel Company—was cancelled on 2 October 1943. The contract for the construction of USS ''Willard Keith'' (DE-314)—an ''Evarts''-class destroyer escort laid down on 22 January 1944 at Vallejo, California, by the Mare Island Navy Yard—was cancelled on 13 March 1944.
