USN
A proposed early 1930’s contract design for a US “flying deck cruiser” intended to circumvent Washington Naval Treaty (WNT) limitation on the total tonnage allowed for aircraft carrier construction. Since there was no total tonnage limitation on cruisers, it was estimated that three 10,000 flying deck light cruisers with a reduced aircraft hanger and flight deck aft could equal the aircraft complement of one 30,000 carrier without counting against the Washington Treaty carrier limitations. The USN received authorization for one experimental flight deck cruiser similar to this design, but eventually decided not to request funding.

South Korea & USN:
Tacoma-class frigate Apnok (56) alongside Gearing-class destroyer USS Hanson (DD-832) for temporary repairs, at Wonsan harbour, Korea, on 26 May 1951, after being hit three times by North Korean shore batteries. The Hanson made temporary repairs to the hull, and furnished electrical power. The Apnok was the former USS Rockford (PF-48), which had been transferred to the South Korean navy in October 1950.

Did you know?!?! One turret from the Japanese battleship Yamato, weighs more than an entire Fletcher-class destroyer.
The Yamato's main armament consisted of nine 46 cm (18.1 inch) Type 94 main guns, which were the largest caliber guns ever mounted on a warship. The guns were arranged in three gun turrets, each gun weighed 147.3 tonnes and were 21.13 metres (69.3 ft) long.
