The destroyer USS Kidd/Эсминец "Кидд"

Книга на английском языке
The early 1940s saw the introduction of a new destroyer class for the US Navy, which became known as the Fletcher-class . The first ships were commissioned just in time to take part in heavy combat during the Pacific War, and the excellent performance of the Fletcher-class enabled some refitted destroyers to serve in the Korean and Vietnam Wars. The total number of hulls built to the design reached an impressive figure of 175. USS Kidd (DD-661), a late square-bridged destroyer of the class, was one of the only four vessels to avoid being scrapped following active service. The ship is currently preserved as a memorial in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and her configuration is very close to that of the late World War II period.
