USS Andrew Doria

(Redirected from USS Andrea Doria)

Two vessels of the United States, one in the Continental Navy and one in the United States Navy, have been named Andrew Doria, the anglicized name of Italian admiral Andrea Doria.

  • The first Andrew Doria was a brigantine of the Continental Navy, notable as the first US ship to receive a salute from a foreign power.
  • The second Andrew Doria (IX-132) was an Italian tanker originally built in 1908 and scuttled in 1941, then raised, renamed, and used by the Navy from 1944 to 1946.
