As for the second part, I'll guess the USS Theodore Roosevelt.

Wow, the ship docked on the pier closer to the marina is the USS Laffey (DD-724)

http://college.hmco.com/history/readerscomp/ships/html/sh_053700_usslaffey.htm

The next contact was made at 0829, when four Japanese dive-bombers were splashed by Laffey's gunners. Over the course of the next 62 minutes, Laffey came under direct attack from 18 more Japanese planes. Ten were shot down, but Laffey was hit by 5 kamikazes, and took bomb hits and near misses from 8 more before the attack was over. With 32 crew dead and 71 wounded, Laffey limped back to Okinawa and eventually made her way back to Puget Sound for rebuilding.
