Namesake
USS Blakely (DE-1072/FF-1072) was named in honor of both him and Capt. Johnston Blakeley. Unfortunately Admiral Blakely claimed to be a nephew of Johnston Blakeley. However, Johnston Blakeley had no siblings who survived to adulthood. Therefore, it is not possible for anyone to be a nephew or grandnephew of Johnston Blakeley.
