The Sullivans at the Buffalo and Erie County Naval & Military Park, Buffalo, New York, September 2007.
The Sullivans’ record typified that of destroyers assigned to Third and Fifth Fleet fast carrier task forces in the Pacific in 1944–45. Deactivated after World War II and then reactivated for the Korean war, she continued operations in the Atlantic and Mediterranean until 1965, when she decommissioned at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard. She remained in reserve until 1977, when she and cruiser Little Rock (CG-4) were donated to the city of Buffalo, New York, where they now serve as a memorial at the Buffalo and Erie County Naval & Military Park.
