The DD-822, officially the USS Robert H. McCard, was a Gearing-class destroyer commissioned into the United States Navy in 1946. Named in honor of Marine Gunnery Sergeant Robert H. McCard, a Medal of Honor recipient, this vessel played a significant role in naval operations during the Cold War.

Throughout its service, the DD-822 participated in various NATO exercises and Mediterranean deployments with the 6th Fleet.
