OUTSTANDING Video!!!! My Dad, Melvin S. Breyfogle (1926-2016) served aboard the USS Laws, a Fletcher Class Destroyer in 1944, 45, and 46. I am trying to learn everything I can about the ship as I am writing a book about his life and his Navy experience will be a significant part of the book. This is a very well made video, I enjoyed the interviews very much. My Dad is gone, I can no longer ask questions so hearing others speak about their experience helps.
TheDustysix eh, I don't have the patience to actually provide physical care for another person, and I doubt anywhere wants a kid amongst their staff... not to mention they'd have to do ALL the talking, I'm awful at small talk and less than social.
I have done a little VA volunteering. 1100 hrs., which is not a lot compared to many. I am a Disabled Vet myself. The nursing home was a tough assignment. You do none of the physical care, only employees. Transport is one area. Most of my time was in Enrollment.
My Father enlisted in 1946 at the very end of the WW2 era and served US Army of Occupation in Mac Arthurs Dai Ichi Bldg. Headquarters in Tokyo. 3 of my Uncles and my dad's cousin were USMC veterans of the Pacific War. I served 39 years ago in Iwakuni.
Grew up in Louisiana for 14 years, lived in leesville and my great grandfather was in the navy and server on the uss Saratoga ( cv-3) aircraft carrier as a aaa gunner late war. He wanted to visit this ship as a family trip and we went out to it when i was 12 years old, it was a memorable trip and im glad that its so well preserved. I would definitely recommend visiting.
I grew up in Baton Rouge and got to tour and stay on this ship as a cub scout so many times. It's the reason I am in love with military history and why the Fletcher class and the Kidd name are my favorites in Navy history. I wish I could go back down there and see it all the time.
So glad WoWs is doing series like this.. So much history is simply overlooked. To interview the men (so few of the left) that served aboard these ships is especially good to see. These are the real men we should aspire to be like.
I dont mean to be so off topic but does any of you know a tool to get back into an Instagram account?? I somehow lost my login password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me
Yes WG please do more of this! But for Gods sake, dont ever again ask a veteran: "what is your selling point?" They sacrificed everything while on those ships to fight for freedom, they shouldnt sell their history... I know it sounds very patriotic, but we should pay a little bit more respect. 😁
Maybe rephrase the question to something like.. "What's the single most interesting thing about the Kidd, that sets it apart from other museum ships?" My father was a WWII veteran, and he never liked to talk about himself. Never sold himself, much like that entire generation. But! Ask him about someplace he's been, or some-one he's met, or something he's seen. And he was full of information. Next time, start asking him about things.. Like "How did you load the guns?" or "Who manned such-n-such station?" Followed up by "He sounds interesting." And you'll get information to fill encyclopedias.
This is great stuff. I remember going to the Kidd as a kid (no pun) and just being in awe. First naval ship I got to put foot on. Side story, one of my family members had a family friend whose father or uncle (can’t remember exactly, since it was sometime ago) was the camera operator on board during the engagement at Okinawa. He filmed the impact of the kamikaze into the amidships, and resulted in loosing an eye because of shrapnel. Amazing that he survived. Great video Wargaming.
Have you ever seen the single photo they were actually able to recover from a strand of film from those moments? Basically I hear this guy just started snapping pitcures away and away at this. The film boiled and was ruined, but one worn out looking capture remained. All it showed was this black contour of a plane against a grey background.
I was on DD784 we carried the division commander desron 23. the madox was in our 4 destroyer group. I went through 2 vietnam cruises including a really bad typhoon. What a great ship. I was thankful to God and those who built the ship for our survival.
Thank you to all these men, something the younger generation like me can and should learn from! I never served but come from a family of military men and women, thank you to all of you also!
I was proud to serve as a US Marine under the command of his son Admiral Isaac C. Kidd Jr. in the late 70's under his many titles on a base in Norfolk, VA known as CINCLANTFLT a concentration of military commands and power...........
My uncle Jim Takitch was on the ship when the kamikaze hit. He was shot in the jaw by the aircraft’s machine guns. He survived the war and is mentioned in the book “They Say There Was a War”.
loved the Kidd and the old guys were great, I'd love to hear so much more. My only complaint were the silly bloody questions asked and nowhere near enough about the ship n exploring the different areas. Never mind I'm sure I can find more about the Fletchers somewhere on the net. Good on Wargaming though, love this part of the company almost as much as I like playing WoW.
I've slept on Kidd and operated ham radio from it. Fun facts: it was the only ship allowed to fly the Jolly Roger and the only destroyer to have an ice cream machine. The ship has unique moorings. When the river is high the ship will float. When the river is low you can walk under the boat and touch the screws.
It had two in WW2. The Kamikaze plane destroyed that area, which had another set of torpedoes. But, like you said, they were useless. None of our allies had any good use for them, sometimes they would even hit, but not explode. So when they were repairing the ship, they decided to stick another gun on her.
The older Vet was in the Movie Battleship! I swear it was him. Looks like him and sounds like him. When Rihanna entered the fire control room he was one of them in there.
My grandfather served aboard the USS Dasheil DD 659 I hope to make a trip to Baton Rouge to share some of the sights he may have seen in his service in the Pacific and remember the stories and names.
I was aboard the U.S.S Henley DD 762, 2200 ton Fletcher class destroyer. Three twin five inch thirty-eights, three inch fifties, mark 15 torpedo's, K-guns, Hedgehogs, and depth charges. She was released to the Naval Reserves as a training ship in the seventies and later sold for scrap. Damn broke my heart. At that time I had the means to purchase the ship and a small lake to dock her. But considering her size she would have to be cut into at least five sections and to transfer her the the middle of the country....almost impossible. So she became someone's razor blade.
Thats a massive difference, the run up to war the DDs went through before they were deployed, Rodney when she engaged Bismark was not shaken down at all, she still had construction crew on board when she engaged and hit Bismark.
I've been living 20 minutes outside of Baton Rouge my whole life, 28 years to be exact, and I have yet to visit the Kidd. I've seen it several times of course, but never been on it..
I was om a Fast Frigate FFG46 and even in those days we were considered expendable when trying to protect a carrier against a Sub. We had ASROCs that could have nuclear depth charges. If these things were fire the limited range would mean our ship would be badly damaged or sunk. Protect the carrier.
As a teenager in high school my Njrotc group would take a trip down to the uss kidd every year. We would spend the night on the Kidd. Every year I would stay up all night in the aa guns.
Please please please please convince people at World of Warships Blitz to add this ship in their lineup! I play that version the most but Kidd is my favorite ship BY FAR on PC.
durring replenishment (stores, food, etc) my job was to fake down the hawser back by the rear gun mount, so that when the line was let run free through the tackle when we were done, nothing would foul up. Damage control, and navigation as well as my regular job as communications electronics tech. you needed to be useful for more than one thing.
My grandfather was in Pearl Harbor on the USS KIDD and survived. I kick myself in the ass for not taking a tour of it in Baton Rouge before destroying it...
Anyone who thinks that war is about adventure and glory, has never served in one; on the front lines. Never seen an 18-year-old kid trying to push his own intestines back into own his body. Never heard grown men crying for their mothers. Never had to pull pieces of what was moments earlier, their best friend, out of their hair. Never came home missing all four of their limbs. Or come home sound in body, but so haunted by the nightmares and the flashbacks, and the guilt, every day, that they turn to drugs or alcohol, just to make life bearable. Or had their mind snapped by the PTSD, and end up spending the rest of their life in a mental institution. We should support our troops by keeping them home, unless the U.S. or one of its allies has demonstrably been unlawfully attacked by another government's military. And even then, only after congress has shown definitive proof that the attack actually happened, and that they know exactly which country (or countries) was behind it. Supporting meaningless wars (and I stress the word "meaningless") isn't patriotic. Opposing politicians who want to start or continue illegal, unprovoked, unnecessary wars, just so they can raise their approval ratings, and their campaign contributors in the weapons/ammo industry can make a profit, is. The U.S. involvement in WWII, was both necessary, and legal. And the world became a much better place for the U.S. joining the fight against the Axis powers. As for the wars which the U.S. has fought in since then...pretty much a complete waste of human lives. The Korean war? Illegal; and lost. The U.S. involvement in Vietnam war? Lost. The war in Afghanistan? Still going on after 18 years; despite the fact that it's common knowledge that Bush Jr. lied about Afghanistan being behind the attacks of September 11th, 2001. The war in Iraq? Still going on, after 16 years; despite it being common knowledge that Bush Jr lied about Saddam Hussain being behind 9/11, and about Al Qaida being in Iraq (though they are, now), and about Saddam Hussain having weapons of mass destruction. There should be a federal law, requiring any U.S. president or member of congress, who decides to start a war, to immediately have one of their (adult) children or grandchildren, drafted, and sent straight to the front lines.
Amazing having ww2 vet on interview when I was a kid I knew 15 20 vets from the war now its like amazing talk to real ww2 man about the war it seemed like ww2 was not long ago as kid 40 years ago because it talk to guys who fought every where I went now their all gone it's like ancient history
If it's the same guy, about a day or two after my Boy Scout trip there way back when, they were testing out a gun, and something backfired. Resulting in him losing his fingers.
Nice video, hope we see more of these. Also, could someone clarify something to me please: is the Kidd such a distinct/famous ship among the USN? This is the 3rd video about her, 4th if we count the teaser, yet nothing was said about the Fletcher (the name ship of her class) aside from what was on The Sullivans' and Kidd's Naval Legends videos. Please don't get me wrong, it's just that it seems odd to me that the 'name ship' still didn't get a video of her own.
at :57, the female on far right is wearing a "jason" hat. My uncle served on jason during the korean war. jason was the last US ship to serve in WW2 and be retired.
I grew up i Louisiana and visited the Kidd / Stayed on it many times as a child. I should note the water level is about 30 feet lower than in the 90s. Possibly more. She looks like shes sitting on land. 😢
out of site, out of mind, shine it must work it might, A clean ship is a happy ship, be the job big or be the job small do the job rite and get stuck with it all. A view navy sayings.
My family has a bit of a secret or maybe it’s family lore. My uncle Billy (William) Walker during WW2 was on a destroyer during WW2 he enlisted in 1938 before Pearl Harbor and he was a bit of an artist. He made the Jolly Roger flag for a destroyer he was on Don’t know if it’s true, but that’s the story. He stayed in the military after the war and taught others to use radar while in Japan. He married a Japanese woman during this time and retired from the military. He moved to Coronado San Diego and died in the 90s. He sold his art till the day he died.
OUTSTANDING Video!!!! My Dad, Melvin S. Breyfogle (1926-2016) served aboard the USS Laws, a Fletcher Class Destroyer in 1944, 45, and 46.

I'm loving all these old timers... I wish I knew a couple veterans so I could just sit and listen to stories.
We spent a fair amount of time with these guys and they were a blast to just talk to.
Volunteer at a VA Hospital.
TheDustysix eh, I don't have the patience to actually provide physical care for another person, and I doubt anywhere wants a kid amongst their staff... not to mention they'd have to do ALL the talking, I'm awful at small talk and less than social.
I have done a little VA volunteering. 1100 hrs., which is not a lot compared to many. I am a Disabled Vet myself. The nursing home was a tough assignment. You do none of the physical care, only employees. Transport is one area. Most of my time was in Enrollment.
My Father enlisted in 1946 at the very end of the WW2 era and served US Army of Occupation in Mac Arthurs Dai Ichi Bldg. Headquarters in Tokyo. 3 of my Uncles and my dad's cousin were USMC veterans of the Pacific War. I served 39 years ago in Iwakuni.

It was really humbling to be able to talk to these folk. Hearing the service stories from the different eras that Kidd served in was amazing.
I dont mean to be so off topic but does any of you know a tool to get back into an Instagram account??
I somehow lost my login password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me

Great point I was thinking the same thing.
agreed , find a more articulate and empathetic "host" who understands the subject much better; this guy was a total douche canoe
@@johnhill7058 you refer to that WWII Veteran as a "Douche Canoe" ?
dude was a bit awkward!

these gradpa's are so awesome....wish mine were still alive...so many war stories to listen to.
Yeah, I would have loved to hear my grandpa's stories as well. Gotta remember history!
I was on DD784 we carried the division commander desron 23. the madox was in our 4 destroyer group. I went through 2 vietnam cruises including a really bad typhoon. What a great ship. I was thankful to God and those who built the ship for our survival.
An amazing ship. I spent the night way back when in Boy Scouts, and recently went again on my 16th birthday
I slept on it when I was in Boy Scouts too!
Leeroy Jenkins was on the Kidd!!!!
Leeroy was a great story. Great person to talk to!
TravzorFTW have you ever been to the USS Missouri?
Not yet, but I am wrangling my way out there somehow. She's a must see!
TrevzorFTW I have been wanting to go see USS Missouri since i seen the movie Battleship and Under Siege
At least he has chicken ;)
Thank you for this video, very interesting, and great to see vets talking, 👍🇺🇲❤️🇬🇧
I visited over the New Year holiday this past year. Such a wonderful display.
No better life for a retired warship than to play with children. Very wholesome.
Thank you to all these men, something the younger generation like me can and should learn from! I never served but come from a family of military men and women, thank you to all of you also!
That was excellent. Love it when the old salts get to tell their stories.
been there a couple of times, beautiful ship.
I love it been to the uss kidd and the uss orleck and the uss texas. I loved each and every one. I even been to the seawolf park loved every moment
Never heard of the uss orleck what is it?where is it thanx
And now Leroy is a commander!
I was proud to serve as a US Marine under the command of his son Admiral Isaac C. Kidd Jr. in the late 70's under his many titles on a base in Norfolk, VA known as CINCLANTFLT a concentration of military commands and power...........

Hearing that brave older gentlemen relive life on the kidd was honorable to say the least!!!
I live only 5 minutes away from that beauty
You have my sympathy, Daniel.
I hope you visit her every weekend and treat her like a queen. Although I think they're is closed for repairs right now.
You are so lucky my man, i have it more that 11 hours by plane...
I need to do a road trip now to Baton Rouge. Toured the Cassin Young in 2010, so was nice to hear the mention of it.
loved the Kidd and the old guys were great, I'd love to hear so much more. My only complaint were the silly bloody questions asked and nowhere near enough about the ship n exploring the different areas. Never mind I'm sure I can find more about the Fletchers somewhere on the net. Good on Wargaming though, love this part of the company almost as much as I like playing WoW.
I went recently because as a kid I used to spend the night on the Kidd with cub scouts, then learned they added it to the game and got so excited lmao
I've slept on Kidd and operated ham radio from it. Fun facts: it was the only ship allowed to fly the Jolly Roger and the only destroyer to have an ice cream machine. The ship has unique moorings. When the river is high the ship will float. When the river is low you can walk under the boat and touch the screws.
I honestly love the USS Kidd despite it having the 1 set of torpedo tubes. Yah...I know its a gunboat but the torps are almost useless on it.
It had two in WW2. The Kamikaze plane destroyed that area, which had another set of torpedoes. But, like you said, they were useless. None of our allies had any good use for them, sometimes they would even hit, but not explode. So when they were repairing the ship, they decided to stick another gun on her.

0:24 what's up guys scarce here
I've been living 20 minutes outside of Baton Rouge my whole life, 28 years to be exact, and I have yet to visit the Kidd. I've seen it several times of course, but never been on it..
Definitely worth it, I lived in the same area my whole life up until a couple years ago
I've been on the Kidd several times, even got to stay the night on it with a youth group once
I was om a Fast Frigate FFG46 and even in those days we were considered expendable when trying to protect a carrier against a Sub. We had ASROCs that could have nuclear depth charges.

I served on USS DIXIE AD14
Did 2 WestPacs Vietnam rotated with USS KIDD
Was in the same typhoon
Remember waves breaking over the bridge.

Hiroshima Caan 🤘 cowabunga

If it's the same guy, about a day or two after my Boy Scout trip there way back when, they were testing out a gun, and something backfired. Resulting in him losing his fingers.
Nice thank you 😊
All right damnit now I have to buy the ship. ;-p
Awesome video ! What about at some point Ship Stories for Cruiser Averof ??? Pls Wows

It’s Leroy Jenkins approved
If the fletchers were easy to live on then I know what yacht I will have built for me.😀😀😀😀😀
This ship traumatized me as a kid. I saw some weird stuff on board :/
like what? any spooky stuff?
Fletcher's look good!
Best!
Oh yeah, Carrier guard, DDGs and CGs will remain on course and take the hit for the CVN.
he should have asked if it could shoot down 20 aircraft at a time
Metal!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Very much so!!!
Do you guys plan to do more Ship Stories for other ships? Like Midway, Iowa, Orleck, and Missouri?
I hope so!
What happened to Tim's right hand?
could of had a more compelling host this guy just has no captivation or interesting composure to do this interview about this Legendary ship..
Have you been on BB55. Please do one on her. She’s awesome. She see with Enterprise
Served
I would love to! One ship at a time ;)
The Fletcher class is surely class the most famous of all the DD but for the Tier 9 everybody would prefered a Sommer or Porter class
I grew up i Louisiana and visited the Kidd / Stayed on it many times as a child.
I should note the water level is about 30 feet lower than in the 90s. Possibly more. She looks like shes sitting on land. 😢

My family has a bit of a secret or maybe it’s family lore. My uncle Billy (William) Walker during WW2 was on a destroyer during WW2 he enlisted in 1938 before Pearl Harbor and he was a bit of an artist. He made the Jolly Roger flag for a destroyer he was on Don’t know if it’s true, but that’s the story. He stayed in the military after the war and taught others to use radar while in Japan. He married a Japanese woman during this time and retired from the military. He moved to Coronado San Diego and died in the 90s. He sold his art till the day he died.
