USS Collett (DD-730) was an Allen M. Sumner-class destroyer commissioned by the United States Navy in 1944. She saw significant action in the Pacific Theater during World War II, providing fire support at Iwo Jima and Okinawa, and surviving a kamikaze attack. After the war, Collett served during the Korean War, conducting shore bombardments and screening aircraft carriers. The destroyer was later transferred to the Argentine Navy in 1974, where she was renamed ARA Piedrabuena (D-29) and served until 1988.
