The Kidd destroyer is one of the most exciting ships in the US Navy, if only because the crew chose a 17th century Scottish pirate William Kidd as their mascot, and raised a pirate flag. Fletcher class destroyers, which included Kidd, were notable for their endurance, but this ship has survived even after successful kamikaze attack.
Naval Legends is a series about the construction, service, and daring deeds of legendary 20th-century ships.

My grandfather, Lieutenant James Edward Gilboy, was the damage control officer during the kamikaze attack. I'm grateful his vessel was saved and made into a museum.
Wow
Thanks for sharing. I am grateful for his service.
😊😊😊
Grew up and still live in Louisiana. Made many trips to her as a child. One of the very very VERY few ships I actually like.
This ship is my #1 priority in WoWS, with #2 being New Orleans.
They've both got huge sentimental value to me.
My last name is Fletcher. I grew up in New Orleans (moved to Baton Rouge after Katrina), and I had two relatives who served on a Fletcher and a New Orleans.
Planning to volunteer at the Kidd as well.
omg i live so close to you
I'm from the Crescent City, too!
My grandfather served in the Kidd. He’s got a lot do cool stories about his time in the navy.
I too share a name of a Fletcher Class destroyer and would love to visit the U.S.S. Kidd someday.
I visited the Kidd once. That was 2 years ago though
My brother serves on the current USS Kidd. It’s really interesting to hear about the proud history of the original.
In honor he serves.
She still flies the Jolly Rogers and recently returned to San Diego flying a huge 🏴☠️
stevemc 01 my brother is the definition of some who has a code of honor lol. He’s an amazing man, it’s awesome seeing him live out his dream.
For those asking a feature on USS Enterprise (CV-6), Battle 360 is a whole series dedicated to the ship.
Visited the USS Kidd in Baton Rouge a few weeks ago on vacation. Very much worth the time to visit. The people at the museum are great too. Very friendly and helpful. Check out the museum and especially the models upstairs. You will not be disapointed!
9:45 OMG why can't documentaries have CGI this good?!
1 word: FUNDING. This was a pretty sweet video :)
Thomas s Yeah. They still managed to fuck up that intro though.
@@thomass647 There is a second and third factor; expertise, and assets while most documentaries may have a few 3D artists, that work on a few projects here and there, Wargaming has an experienced team whom has spent years hard at work, building stages, modelling and animating vehicles, and better learning how to take advantage of their inhouse game engine, which works just fine for films, and as all the assets have already been made for their games, producing these high quality CGI films is relatively easy for them as they have already done most of the work in the production of their games.
@@thomass647 it's not about funding. It's about skills. Even some CZcams animator can create a full length animation alone. Better than Hollywood animation that made with hundreds of animators.
Edit: even anime is better than Western cartoon. Shingeki no Kyojin for example. SnK is even better than all Western series n movies. Except Game of Thrones
Dude watch greyhounde this ship was used to the film. Look the CGI and reply to me.
My dad was aboard the Kidd when she was hit by the Jap plane. He was wounded and lived. Edward Rynes (may have been K/A Ryno). I'd love to see any and all photos that anyone has that were taken aboard ship 1943, 44, & 45 in the hopes of spotting my dad.Thank you to all our countries servicemen & women. God bless.
I live about 2 miles from this memorial museum, here in Baton Rouge. I was also stationed aboard the USS Sarsfield DD-837 in 1976 as my first duty station. Sarsfied is a Gearing class destroyer, laid down in January, 1945. When I visit the Kidd Museum it’s like being back in the fleet as the two destroyers are virtually identical.
Can't believe the dude butchered the names of the anti aircraft weapons lol.
CajunWhy boff ores
O - lee - korn?
Oop he didnt though
@@Geronimo-ii5ni 027 mm? 5'' 38.
I was just gonna post that...
My grandfater was on this ship during WWII.
Did You know that USS Kidd DD-661 is one of only four surviving Fletcher class destroyers in existence ? She is in Baton Rouge as a museum.
(I had seen Cassin Young DD-793 in Boston)
I did indeed... I have pictures of it from his reunion. I have driven past it a bunch when I worked at MUSA, never could stop though.
When I saw the Cassin Young, I was a little surprised to find it equipped with AN/SPS-10 and AN/SPA-25 RADAR set. This was a basic set that I had trained on when in "A" school 1986. I assume Kidd has the same.
+cyanide99ghs mine too
Ya'll should have covered the USS Johnston (DD-557). Now THAT is a legendary ship. Gave the Yamato the middle finger, and was sailed by men who's balls were of similar material and tonnage as the ship they sailed on. See Battle off Samar for reference.
USS Laffey!
Gorgotrove or uss samuel b roberts she gave the offical FUCK YOU JAPAN to every ship and soldier
she went down after doing more than anyone could have expected
biscuitninja the laffey should be reclassified as a battleship
+60103 flying scotsman We need the Sammy B in the game already!
The USS Kidd is actually pretty cool, I actually got to spend the night on it.
ORP Błyskawica is better.
I did too, the bunks aren't as comfortable as you might think huh xD
yepp
Xbrain 360 I aswell. through boy scouts
me too
Who's here after watching Greyhound? This was the ship used in the movie.
Holy crap that movie is over a year old now?!!!
Here after watching Shane, curator of the USS Sullivans video about the KIDD's anniversary. Own interest is because my only maternal uncle was killed on the USS Johnston while firing at the Japanese Navy at Samar. Also a shout out to HistoryX who alerted me to the continued existence of the Fletchers. Such proud little ships that fought like hell.
Yeah
I live near Baton Rouge (where it's stationed), so I realized WoW had it and now I'm here.
I visited The USS KIDD when I was 13 . Amazing, it made me realize what it was like for my grandfather as a chief radiomans mate on the USS DICKINSON DD157 AND USS HERBERT DD160..
I am BM2(SW)SAR rescue swimmer 80-84 on DDG-993 Kidd commissioned june 1981, I had the privilege of being a plank owner and I met with the surviving original crew of DD-661 in Little Rock for Navy Ball reunion at the Hilton when Clinton was Governor, Amazing time. I had a good time on the Kidd, I got to ride torpedoes when recovering them (never could get used to shark encounters), did main deck unreps , conreps, vertreps and HIFR's visited some awesome places and spent 9 months in Beruit Lebanon with the Peace Keeping Force Expedition. Captain Flanagan was first Captain then Captain Fred Moosally relieved him. God Bless All the crew of the Kidd.
LB
binge watching naval legends because they're the best documentaries on youtube :)
My grandfather served on this ship.
Bless him m8
Mine did as well! Was one of the men injured during the kamikazie attack. One day ill get to see the Kidd
GunFuMaster o7
+GunFuMastert ell him thank you for his service
+GunFuMaster mine too
I toured the U.S.S. Kidd April 16, 2019. It was an incredible sobering, educational experience! Wow!
The picture of the Kamikaze is fucking scary!
My dad was on this ship when the kamikaze hit at Okinawa in 1945. He was born in 1926, and barely got service. He is mentioned in the ships log for missing muster one day, lol. The entry for the day the kamikaze hit, April 11, was ominous with the listings of the dead and injured. Thankfully my father's name was not listed there. The next day, April 12, FDR died of a heart attack. So I can only imagine the morale on the ship as they withdrew from battle with dead and wounded on board, under continuing attack, compounded by the death of the President. Oh well, no shortage of trials on both sides in any war.
My grandfather served aboard the USS Ingersoll DD-652, another fletcher class ship.
What I like about destroyers is they multi-functionality but when the enemy is nearby, they are the first into the fray and usually get hit first. Because they have to defend the transports and carriers even if they have to sacrifice themselves.
Like during the Battle off Samar, part of the Battle of Leyte Gulf, Philippines.
I visited the USS KIdd twice while stationed at Baton Rouge. On a side note .. there is a museum next to the Kidd full of fantastic ship models .. most built by sailors and donated
An update ... USS Kidd served as a prop for the Tom Hanks movie "Greyhound".
My Dad was a Tin-Can sailor on Fletcher Class. Tin-Can Sailor are a breed apart best personified by LCDR Evans and the crew of DD-557 USS JOHNSTON.
One USS Kidd not mentioned is USS Kidd DDG-993 originally ordered by the Shah of Iran, he was overthrown the ships (there was four of them) couldn't be delivered so they went into service as the Kidd class (sailors humor called them the "Ayotolla Class".
The Kidd-Class DDGs that you refer to were especially formidable in weaponry, capabilities, and accommodations. I was glad the U.S. kept them, but sad to see them ultimately retired - far too soon in my opinion.
That class of destroyers was also nicknamed the "Dead Admirals Class" as each of their namesakes - Kidd, Chandler, Scott, and Callahan - were killed in action.
I agree, they were all decommissioned far too early. Fortunately, Kidd and her sister ships were purchased by Taiwan and have been proudly serving in their navy.
USS Kidd has since had her name assigned to another destroyer, DDG-100. Kidd's name lives on honorably.
It is a great museum ship to visit and worth the price of admission. Some parts on the ship are from the USS Tolman (DM-28), on which my grandfather served as a EM during the war.
Next US destroyer they should do is USS Laffey, "The ship that would not die." Class Allen M. Sumner. The ship took 4 bombs six kamikaze strikes and a strafing run.
Toured this fine ship several times. I live in New Orleans and served in the Navy. First and last ships were Destroyers. Gotta love the tin can!
Very good presentation! I toured the Kidd when I lived in Baton Rouge. Thanks for the memories.
this is one of my favorites because one of my oldest friends who iv known for 20 years know is related to captain Kidd. its crazy how small of a world this really is
Remember kids, this is the only breed of ship that scared the shit out of the mighty Yamato during the battle off Samar. That history proves that "Size of the dog matters not in a fight, it is the size of a fight in a dog".
"This is going to be a fighting ship anyone who wants may transfer off now." Captain Evans first words to his crew..he meant EVERY word. No idea how many, if any, men requested transfer.
Somebody needs to tell the narrator that Mk is the abbreviation for and pronounced Mark.
He also said "nmi" instead of saying nautical miles and "shp" instead of shaft horse power i like the other narrorators but still good
Also, its pronounced Bow-fours, not Bah-fers and Oar-like-on not Air-le-corn. Very much dislike this narrator
JKSSubstandard yeah that killed me
Just wanted to add that all the WOT community pronounces cupola as cup-ola when it’s “kyoo-pola”
its not a real human...
its AI...
Born and raised in Louisiana and super proud to have the Kidd represent our state
The "Pirate flag" is called the "Jolly Roger" and the USS Kidd is the only American Naval ship allowed to fly it. My Dad served on a Fletcher that was Kamikazed at Okinawa.
The "Jolly Roger" used to flown at times when we returned to port from times at sea, '72-'73 time frame aboard my first sea duty aboard an AO.
It was also common for British submarines to fly the Jolly Roger in WWII. Apparently the British naval high brass initially dismissed submarines as a dishonorable way to fight a war in WWI so the crews flew the pirate flag.
Spent the night on the kidd back on a youth trip. Was a very interesting night.
Th3DarkRavin I just subbed 2 u
It's aboard the USS Kidd would they film parts of the scenes of the upcoming movie Greyhound
It looks just like the USS Johnston DD-557 the one destroyer that charged into a massive fleet of Japanese warships in order to protect America and the captain Ernest Edwin Evans the first Native American to earn the Medal of Honor but however unfortunately the USS Johnston sunk due to heavy fire. But the USS Johnston is now become the world’s deepest shipwreck and also make a video about the USS Johnston DD-577 Fletcher-class Destroyer you know this ship is a legend who fought to protect America.
I live close by this ship...im glad there is a documentary dedicated for this ship
I like the British narrator better, feels more authentic.
Best video for World of Warships yet!!!!
:-) i want more episods of this!!!!
I served on the Kidd from 1961 to 1963. I left service in 1963 in Philadelphia and was on the last crew that actually saw active service on the kidd.
I like how at 8:45 you can see HMCS Assiniboine nested with others of her class in the Halifax Dockyard
Another great episode in History Channel
Greyhound got me here
It's a grate tour and museum.
They do sleep overs for kid group's
They even fire off the 5in guns from time to time to keep in working order (large loud blanks)same with the other guns.
i really wanna see more Naval legends..some i honestly never heard of.. more please. its interesting facts of history
I was on the wedderburn DD684 which was In the same division as the Kidd along with the Hopewell and the Uhlmann.l have been on the Kidd. My first meal was on the Hopewell in San Diego while waiting for my ship to come in . We had chili ! 1954. Some things you just don't forget.
Garrett Lynch at 4:11, wasnt he in the 2012 movie Battleship? Where he says to Rhianna "ready to play with the big boys" referring to the Missouri 16" guns.
Been to the Iowa, Alabama, Patriots pointe etc, the Kidd is my favorite. It hasn't been too commerciallized
She is in the condition as she was in 1945.
6:30 When you swallow the wrong way.
A truely amazing ship even though it's "only" 377 feet long I was surprised at all the compartments and places in the ship it has 4 platforms but the only that I they wouldn't let you see is the engine room but overall the ship really is a time capsule. I highly recommend touring the kidd
I have been there. It's amazing!
Love those scrappy little Fletchers! 💪👊
Enyojed the video and this gave me an inspiration to build the USS Kid in rc
I hope world of warships could feature the USS JOHNSTON (DD-557). The most heroic act of USS Johnston, Lt.Commander Evans and the ships crew in the battle of Surigao strait. The most heroic and crucial battle of the invasion of Leyte.
it was the Battle off Samar
@@robertyoung3992 oh yes Thanks for correctimg that
My grandfather use to take me on this ship on weekends back in the mid 80's.
Beautiful ship.
I love about 15 minutes away from this remarkable ship!
Live*
USS KIDD looked like USS FLETCHER in greyhound
Fascinating history
I have slept a couple of nights on that ship pretty cool to say.
They would wake us up with the battle stations alarms
That's epic. Was is for boy scouts or something?
@@calvincanada4723 yea I was in Boy Scouts
Ships like that in the US BRITISH NAVY deserve to be still serving like the vanguard kg5 Nelson rodney plus the US battle ships I now some are preserved but that is good but better to be serving I think.
Have to agree, it's an absolute travesty that none of the great British battleships were preserved, nice to still have the Belfast though.
That kamikazee photo is quite scary and chilling
They used to let small school groups spend a night onboard. I was lucky enough to, it was awesome.
Wait...the chieftain is here??
Surely you Kidd?
I love USS KIDD 661
The only mistake they made with their visual model giving specification's is that they are using a round bridge Fletcher, The USS KIDD was a Square bridge fletcher... which they show later.
Please do one on the USS Laffey!
I’ve been on that and even got to sleep on it when I was in Boy Scouts!
will you guys ever make a video of USS Enterprise
The Darkness Network I do believe that they have a video on the USS Enterprise out now.
Should take about 2 hrs. on that ship. No ship came close to seeing the action in WWII than the "Big E".
/o/ The Chieftain! :D
Great story!
I like his T Rex hand
Wonder what happened to it though...
My grandfather served on this ship on WWII. He got transferred to another ship before the kamikaze attack though.
The first naval vessel I ever stepped foot on as a kid in Baton Rouge with my Boy Scout troop
God bless the Veteran for his service and sacrifice
I'd love to see the british ships Hood, Renown/Repulse, Warspite/Valiant/Queen Elizabeth, Vanguard...their latest iteration of course
You guys should do one about the uss Enterprise
I love the naval stories behind the ships in the game.
also, what's the theme for the specs?
You guys have to do a quick summary of the USS Enterprise.
Thank you for releasing this. I love hearing about the great ships that served with distinction. However, please talk to someone about pronunciation. Your narrator is good, but the script needed changes. i.e. "MK.12" is "Mark 12", 155 mm guns are 5" radar guided and assisted guns, etc.
I seem to remember a story about trouble in the design of the overhead on the bridge deck on this class ... something like it was not high enough. The story I heard was that one of the gals on the design team, to figure the height took an average of the heights of the men in the team and added a foot, which proved too low in rough seas. True or not it's an interesting story!
I worked on converting the guns on the Kidd to gas guns for their 4th of July show.
What about flag-ship cruisser Tashkent, the famous Blue cruisser?
Geaux see this ship in person! Docked on the Mississippi in Baton Rouge, LA
I was on the USS Halsey Powell DD 686 not during the war time but it too was hit by kamikazes and seen a lot of action it had several scar marks from battles as well fortunately it was given to the South Koreans and then it was scrapped out
I love this series. One knock on it is that it sounds like they used a translate program and took the raw translation and put it into text-to-speech.
I believe Garrett Lynch by his looks and voice was in the movie Battleship
You guys should do a video on the USS Laffey another fletcher
+Hrisin C None of the ships named 'Laffey' were Fletcher class, one was a Benson class and sunk at Guadalcanal. The other, an Allen M. Sumner class destroyer which is currently a museum.
***** Nope, Taffy 3 was at the Samar strait in the Leyte Gulf. USS Laffey's baptism of fire was in April 1945 30mi North of Okinawa.
***** Yea. sorry, a bit rusty on my knowledge.
Laffey was stuck by a Czech-made shell fired from German shore batteries while supporting Overlord. Read The Ship That Would Not Die. It was written by her skipper that commander he trough the war. He also skippered the earlier Laffey that was sunk during the Solomon's campaign.
0:58 and 11:39 what’s that track with the chorus
They represented the Kidd very good in the Game from what i can say. Only the Ability to shoot AntiAir Shells with the Main Guns is not available. She can take and deal a good Amount of Damage if skilled right. She is best played as a Supporter or battling other DD´s.
Named after Admiral Isaac C. Kidd, who was killed in the Pearl Harbor attack when the "Arizona" battleship blew up while he was on the bridge: only his ring was found after the massive fireball wiped-out 1100 sailors.
1,177
i live only less than 30-20 miles from baton rouge and the river center
Fletchers baddest ships in the war
Great ship, but I'm really glad they changed Narator on this series.
i heard theres gonna be a new movie featuring Kidd
i spent the night there in boy scouts and it was fun
Same
I read later in Captain Kid's years he settled in New York City in the US for a few years until he got caught.
One time I told my friend about this ship and he called it the USS This Kidd as a reference to my nickname This Kid
