About this ship

Introduction

The USS Kidd (DD-661) is a notable example of the U.S. Navy's Fletcher-class destroyers, which formed the backbone of the U.S. destroyer force during World War II. Fletcher-class vessels were known for their versatility and balance between weaponry, speed, and armor. The USS Kidd in particular gained recognition for its enhanced anti-aircraft (AA) capabilities and swift maneuverability, having received significant upgrades throughout its service.
