USS Braine (DD-630), a Fletcher-class destroyer, was a ship of the United States Navy named for Rear Admiral Daniel L. Braine (1829–1898), who served in the American Civil War. Constructed by Bath Iron Works in Bath, Maine, the ship was launched on 7 March 1943 and commissioned on 11 May 1943. The destroyer took part in the United States' naval campaign in the South Pacific during World War II. Following the war, the vessel was decommissioned and placed in reserve. During the Korean War, Braine was recommissioned and operated in the Mediterranean Sea before being decommissioned for the final time by the United States Navy in 1971. The destroyer was sold to Argentina and renamed ARA Almirante Domecq Garcia after Admiral Manuel Domecq Garcia and served with the Argentinian Navy until disposed of as a target ship in 1983.
