According to Wikipedia, which lists all the ships involved, all were Clemson Class destroyers, a later class, as you surmised, from the Wickes Class. Clemson Class were a redesign with a greater fuel capacity and it was the last class of "flush deck" destroyers to be built. There were fourteen Clemson Class destroyers involved at Honda Point.
