USS Quentin Walsh (DDG-132) is a planned United States Navy Arleigh Burke-class Flight III guided missile destroyer, the 82nd overall for the class.

[1][4] She will be named for Captain Quentin Walsh (1910–2000), a United States Coast Guard officer who earned the Navy Cross during the World War II.

Walsh's plan called for the formation of a specially trained naval reconnaissance unit to determine the condition of the port after its capture.

[6] Walsh's 53-man unit landed and contacted elements of the US Army's 79th Infantry Division, which was engaging the Germans in fierce house-to-house fighting.

Armed with bazookas, hand grenades, rifles, and submachine guns, he and his party overcame sniper fire and blew open steel doors of underground bunkers, capturing 400 Germans.
