USS Shaw
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Two United States Navy destroyers have been named USS Shaw, after John Shaw, a notable officer in the early days of the Navy.

• The first Shaw (DD-68) served in World War I, losing her bow in an accidental collision with another ship, but later repaired.

• The second Shaw (DD-373) also lost her bow, during the attack on Pearl Harbor, but was repaired and served actively through the rest of World War II.
