Nice to have a namesake ship in the fleet!
What does the DD-875 signify? Some sort of ship identity code?

DD = Designation Destroyer.
During the Vietnam conflict, I served on a DDG
Designation Destroyer Guided Missile.

Thanks, rod222.
Is there a source for a full listing of those designations?

Wow. That's a lot of ship types. I had no inkling that there were that many different types of vessels in the US Navy (or any navy, really!)
