Japanese kamikaze plane about to crash into USS Kidd (DD-661), off Okinawa, 11 April 1945. The plane hit Kidd's side, killing 38 of her crew and wounding 55 more. Still under enemy air attack as she withdrew, the anti-aircraft gunners aboard Kidd kept at it despite the damage and flames, assisting to drive off the rest of the kamikazes attacking them and preventing another hit from finishing off Kidd.

USS Kidd, Baton Rouge, LA. USS Kidd (DD-661), a Fletcher-class destroyer, was the first ship of the United States Navy to be named after Rear Admiral Isaac C. Kidd, who died on the bridge of his flagship USS Arizona during the 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Admiral Kidd was the first US flag officer to die during World War II, and the first American admiral ever to be killed in action. A National Historic Landmark, she is now a museum ship, berthed on the Mississippi River in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
