Three ships in the United States Navy have been named USS Rodgers for John Rodgers (1772–1838), his son, John Rodgers (1812–1882) and his great grandson, John Rodgers (1881–1926).
- The first Rodgers was a steam whaler launched in 1879 as Mary and Helen. She was purchased by the Navy in 1881 and was lost in an accidental fire At Saint Lawrence Bay, Chukotka later that same year.
- The second Rodgers (TB-4) was a Foote-class torpedo boat commissioned in 1898 and decommissioned in 1919.
- The third Rodgers (DD-254) was a Clemson-class destroyer, commissioned in 1919 and transferred to the Royal Navy as HMS Sherwood (I80) in 1940.
Rodgers (DD-170) was renamed Kalk (DD-170) on 23 December 1918.
