Summary edit

Description The U.S. Navy destroyer USS Richard E. Kraus (DD-849) circa in 1946. Following shakedown off Boston, Richard E. Kraus reported to Commander, Operational Test and Evaluation Force, at Norfolk, Virginia (USA). Engaged in ordnance development during her first six years, Richard E. Kraus earned the title of one of the "Shootingest Ships" in the fleet. In 1947, the after 40 mm gun mount was removed and the first shipboard 3"/50 caliber gun mount was installed for tests. In 1948 Richard E. Kraus assisted USS Mississippi (AG-128) in the development tests of the RIM-2 Terrier surface-to-air missile. She was subsequently involved in the evaluation of electronic equipment including radar and communication gear. In addition she conducted tests on anchors, tow cables, and underwater explosives. Reclassified AG-151 on 25 August 1949, Richard E. Kraus was designated DD-849 again on 11 January 1954.
