Laid down, displacement, length, beam, draft, speed, and complement are not stored for each hull, so this table leaves them out.

The armament line is the class drawing, not a measurement of this hull.

USS Bryant (DD-665) was a Fletcher-class destroyer of the United States Navy. She was launched on 29 May 1943 and commissioned on 4 December 1943, the same day P. L. High took command.

Her recorded wartime action is the Battle of Surigao Strait on 25 October 1944, where she stood on the left flank. She came through that night with the rest of her war still ahead of her, and she survived the war.

After the fighting ended, the hull remained in existence for more than two decades. On 24 August 1969 she was sunk as a target.
