USS Higbee (DD-806) was the USN's first warship named after a USN female. Higbee was a Gearing class destroyer launched during WWII. On 19 April 1972 two North Vietnamese MiG-17s specially out-fitted for carrying bombs, attacked the USS Oklahoma City (Light Cruiser) and the USS Higbee (Destroyer). Possibly near misses, caused only superficial damage to the cruiser. Higbee lost it's after 5 inch mount (turret). Both the Oklahoma City and the Higbee were sunk as targets. Note: MiG-17's were NOT designed nor intended for the ground attack role; they are strictly interceptors. Consequently, an awful lot of work (approximately 3 months worth) went into the MiG-17's to make them "fighter-bombers."
