| USS ELLIOT (DD 146) was named after LCDR Richard McCall Elliot. He was distinguished for exceptional bravery onboard U.S. destroyer AYLWIN in 1915 by rescuing men in the flooded engine room after the boiler had exploded. LCDR Richard Elliot was killed onboard USS MANLEY (DD 74) on March 19, 1918 when her depth charges exploded in a collision with a British ship in the convoy Manley was escorting. |
