The USS O'Bannon (DD-987), a destroyer belonging to the Spruance class, was the third vessel in the United States Navy to be named in honor of Lieutenant Presley O'Bannon (1776–1850), an early hero in the US Marine Corps.

O'Bannon's construction commenced on 21 February 1977 at Ingalls Shipbuilding in Pascagoula, Miss.; she was launched on 25 September 1978 and commissioned on 15 December 1979.

Leaving Pascagoula for Charleston, S.C. on 21 December 1979, O'Bannon arrived at her homeport, joining Destroyer Squadron (DesRon) 4. After various activities, she underwent a retrofit in Pascagoula from 21 April-18 July 1980. During this upgrade, she was reassigned to DesRon 6 and received advanced weaponry like an eight canister Harpoon missile system and an AN-SLQ-32(V)2 Electronic Warfare (EW) system.

Departing Charleston on 18 March 1981, O'Bannon embarked on her initial Mediterranean/North Atlantic deployment. Throughout her career, she engaged in numerous exercises, deployments, and patrols across various regions, including the Middle East, South America, and the Caribbean.

O'Bannon's service extended until her decommissioning on 19 August 2005. Initially considered for transfer to Chile in 2004, she was later slated for transfer to the Turkish Navy in 2005. However, she met her fate off the coast of Virginia during a training exercise by the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower carrier group on 6 October 2008, being sunk as part of the exercise using missiles, guns, and ultimately a Mk 82 bomb.
