Kidd
A Fletcher-class destroyer, USS Kidd sailed across New York Harbor on her maiden voyage with the Jolly Roger raised. She provided covering fire during the landings on Bougainville Island, the Gilbert Islands, and the Marshall Islands in the Pacific Ocean. The destroyer took part in the Battle of Leyte Gulf and the Battle of Okinawa. USS Kidd was one of three ships designated by the Navy for preservation as a memorial. In May 1982, the destroyer was towed to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to be converted into a naval museum and memorial.
