With 175 total ships launched, the Fletchers were the most numerous and most impactful class of destroyers in the US Navy during the Second World War. DD-661 was named for RAdm. Isaac C. Kidd, who was killed onboard the Battleship Arizona at Pearl Harbor. USS Kidd saw action in both the Atlantic and in the Pacific. In April 1945, the ship was seriously damaged by a Kamikaze strike. Kidd was recommissioned during the Korean War, and finally decommissioned for the final time in 1964. The interior and exterior of the ship have been painstakingly restored and preserved in Baton Rouge by the Louisiana Naval War Memorial Commission. This work uses color photography to provide readers an illustrated tour of the ship, above and below deck.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 229mmAuthor: David DoyleGenre: Law & PoliticsSubtitle: From WWII and Korea to Museum ShipISBN-10: 0764364650Item Weight: 499gBook Series: Legends of Warfare: NavalRelease Year: 2022
