A Fletcher class destroyer?

Yes but as far as I can ascertain the largest calibre weapon was 40mm
Her two owners after US use may have changed her armament but I'm not sure.

Nothing as speedy or dashing.
BIG CLUE: Today you'll find her at sea but that doesn't necessarily mean she should be considered as being seaworthy.

/\ can't be; the John W. Brown like the other Liberty ship, Jeremiah O'brian at Fisherman's Wharf, SF, is a "museum ship' which Jimbuna has heretofore said the OP is not. Moreover, Liberties pack 6" cannons, considerably heavier than the 40mm already discussed...

Found under: "old rust buckets still afloat after WWII"
gets me: USAS American Mariner: also nicknamed Hannibal after an old target vessel...currently scuttled but visible in Cheasapeake Bay..? Used as target practice. Originally laid down as the Liberty SS George Calvert, it has retained its present name under both subsequent 'owners', the US ARMY and Marine Transportation Service. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USAS_American_Mariner

Never new they had such a heavy armament (a cruiser gun, after all). I've always thought they had something like 76mm or 100mm (3" / 4"), which were sufficient against submarines as well. |

Not really, she is a specific type/class.
CLUE: No other ship in the US Navy has been given this name.

Afraid not.
CLUE: Roughly half the displacement of the above.
