This site is dedicated to the the sailors of the WWII Destroyer DD-650 otherwise known as the USS Caperton. With the valuable assistance of many former sailors of the USS Caperton, I have assembled a site including information on the ship, its history, and the people who built and sailed her. There is also a growing photogallery of images of both the ship and her sailors. If you or a family member was involved in the USS Caperton, please email me at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it to share your stories and/or photos with others. If you are a former sailor of the Caperton and are not already a member please check out the Association link for information about an association organized and operated by fellow former sailors. They even have a quarterly newsletter!
