I find it interesting thet you mixed the two types of city-based USN
cruiser names.

> DDH - named for posthumous winners of the Congressional Medal of

Although not postumous, no such naming list should be without the USMCs top
multiple awardees:

James Forney - Brevet Medal* 1862, 1864, 1867

Louis J. Magill - Brevet Medal* 1898, 1898

Wendell C. Neville - Brevet Medal* 1898; Medal of Honor 1914

David Dixon Porter - Brevet Medal* 1899; Medal of Honor 1911

Smedley D. Butler - Brevet Medal* 1900; Medal of Honor 1914, 1915;
Nominated for Victoria Cross 1900; 2 Wound Stripes (each = Purple Heart)

Dan Daly - Medal of Honor 1900, 1915, nominated 1918 but awarded Navy
Cross**, Army Distinguished Service Cross***, French Medaille Militaire, and
offered commission (declined) instead; 2 Letters of Commendation & 2 Wound
Stripes (WW2 equiv. = 2 awards each of Silver Star**** and Purple Heart)

Lewis "Chesty" Puller - Nominated for Medal of Honor 1942 but awarded
Navy Cross instead; Navy Cross** 1930, 1932, 1942, 1944, 1950 (also received
Army Distinguished Service Cross*** 1950), Silver Star****, Bronze Star twice,
Purple Heart

* Before 1916, officers received the Brevet Medal instead of the Medal of
Honor.
** Navy Cross is immediately below Medal of Honor/Brevet Medal in
precedence. *** Army Distinguished Service Cross is equivalent to Navy Cross,
but
USN/USMC places immediately below in precedence.
**** Silver Star is immediately below Navy Cross/DSC in precedence.
