  • Ship is now Located in Lake Charles, La. Toured it today and met some of the men who were stationed on here. What an honor.

  • @tigersaint07 The ship is still located in Baton Rouge, LA

  • What gun was that ,really

  • That's a twin 20mm mount

  • If a Japanese strafes you, those 20 mils will kill you even if you have 2 inches of steel around you

  • Yes. And those sailors had to live with that fear every day.

  • the guys over at Red Jacket firearms (Sons of Guns) did one HELL of a show on the USS Kidd on the 4th July 2011. Gave the old girl one last mission to serve and defend the country she and her crew and we love so much. Rest in peace to the crew of this beautiful ship.

  • I'd hate to be on the deck in the 20 mm gun tub when the 5"ers are firing too.

  • aww you should do a drill with the 5" dual purpose guns!

  • My grandfather served on another Fletcher-class destroyer, the USS O'Bannon (DD-450), during World War II.

  • " Sir, I can't find General Quarters, but I found Major Pain" .

  • @smartsniper308 Sorry, thought it was the USS Orleck. Looks exactly the same. It has an interesting story behind it. Was nicknamed the grey ghost for its service in Vietnam and Korea. Fired the most rounds for it's kind during Vietnam.

  • Kids playing.. wannabe's for the real thing.
