Description

USS Kidd (DD-661) was launched 28 February 1943 and served in the Pacific from August 1943 until the end of the war, taking part in operations in the Marshall Islands, the Marianas campaign, and the Philippines. In early 1945 she joined Task Force 58 (TF 58) for the invasion of Okinawa. After service in the Korean War as part of Task Force 77 she alternated West Pacific cruises with operations on the West Coast. She was decommissioned on 19 June 1964 and entered the Atlantic Reserve Fleet. She has been docked at Baton Rouge since 23 May 1982, when she was transferred to the Louisiana Naval War Memorial Commission and is now on public view there as a museum vessel. Never modernized, USS Kidd is the only destroyer to retain its World War II appearance. This brand new addition to the Anatomy of the ship series combines a brief narrative history of the USS Kidd, its design and construction and contemporary photographs, with a series of detailed plans of the destroyer and Stefan Draminski's superbly detailed digital colour artworks.
