• The first Sumner (DD-333)[?] was a destroyer commissioned in 1921.

• The second Sumner (AGS-5)[?] was originally the submarine tender[?] Bushnell, converted to a survey ship[?] in World War II, and a participant in the nuclear tests at Bikini Atoll.

The destroyer Allen M. Sumner (DD-692)[?] may also be referred to informally as Sumner.
