USS Rodgers

Three ships in the United States Navy have been named USS "Rodgers" for John Rodgers (1772–1838), his son, John Rodgers (1812–1882) and his great grandson, John Rodgers (1881–1926).

* The first "Rodgers" was a steam whaler launched in 1879 as "Mary and Helen". She was purchased by the Navy in 1881 and was lost in an accidental fire later that same year.
* The second "Rodgers" (TB-4) was a "Foote"-class torpedo boat commissioned in 1898 and decommissioned in 1919.
* The third "Rodgers" (DD-254) was a "Clemson"-class destroyer, commissioned in 1919 and transferred to the Royal Navy as HMS "Sherwood" (I80) in 1940.

"Rodgers" (DD-170) was renamed "Kalk" (DD-170) on 23 December 1918.
