Rodney C. Maddox's supplement assembles a compact family-history account of Marine officer William Alfred Truman Maddox and the three destroyers named for him. Its biographical episodes, ship details, and sponsor relationships are retained as the compiler's account; the separate Naval History and Heritage Command sections provide the verified outline and identify corrections to the archive's hull numbers, dates, names, and Tonkin Gulf interpretation. The supplement's richer service stories remain attributed rather than independently corroborated.
