Commissioned in 1943, the USS Kidd served with distinction in WWII, surviving a deadly kamikaze attack during the invasion of Okinawa. After brief retirement, she returned to duty in the Korean War and sailed the Pacific through the '50s. Decommissioned for the final time in 1964, she waited in a Philadelphia shipyard to either be called back to service or sold for scrap. | WBRZ Channel 2
