According to Wikipedia:

 
USS Kidd (DDG-100) is an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer in the United States Navy. 

She is the third Navy ship named after Rear Admiral Isaac C. Kidd, who was on board Arizona during the attack on Pearl Harbor, and was the first American flag officer to die in World War II.

USS Kidd is the only active ship in the Navy officially allowed to fly the Jolly Roger.
