==Legacy and honors== The first {{USS|Talbot|TB-15|6}} (Torpedo Boat No. 15) was named for Lt. [[John Gunnell Talbot]], no relation to Silas Talbot; the second and third Talbots ([[USS Talbot (DD-114)|''Talbot'' (DD-114/APD 7)]] and [[USS Talbot (FFG-4)|''Talbot'' (DEG/FFG-4)]], respectively) were named for Captain Silas Talbot. Talbot was an original member of the Rhode Island [[Society of the Cincinnati]]. Battery Talbot (1899β1919), named for Silas Talbot in G.O. 30, March 19, 1902, was a reinforced concrete Endicott Period 4.72-inch coastal gun battery on Fort Adams, Newport County, Rhode Island. Both of the original guns from this battery survive. One is on display at Equality Park in Newport, and the other is at [[Fort Moultrie]] National Park near [[Charleston, South Carolina]]. There is a [[cenotaph]] in honor of Captain Talbot in the Dighton Congregational Church cemetery in his hometown of [[Dighton, Massachusetts]].
