USS Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. DD850
at Battleship Cove, Fall River, Massachusetts.




Welcome to the USS Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. DD850
Kennedy is an example of a Gearing class destroyer, which were built during WW2 and became the workhorses of the Cold War destroyer navy. USS JPK JPK , as we call her, served with great distinction during the Korean War, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and America's space program to name just a few. DD850 now proudly displays her colors as a museum ship to educate the public and serve as a memorial to those who sailed aboard destroyers. USS Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr. is a National Historic Landmark and member of the Historic Naval Ships Association.
