USS Kidd. The Attack of Kamikaze | World of Warships

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.

You should do a video about USS Laffey DD 724. Would love to see a premium of her as well.

[@georgecampbell9638]

[@My_Name_Suc]

[@killerrush77]

The Kidd is a GREAT tour! if you are ever in Baton Rouge, visit this ship!

[@thud105gify]

When I was growing up, our family doctor was Dr. Broox Garrett. He was the doctor mentioned in the video who lost his eye and took the pictures of the kamikaze coming in. I remember being captivated by his stories of the ship when I was young.

[@Pienimusta]

Did WG nerf the AA also back in then? Damn CVs.

[@Handlesarestoopid]

Not to be mean, but this us just the USS Kidd navel legends video but its shortened

[@DerpyPenguin4747]

Thank you Wargaming for interviewing vets while they are still around so we can all hear their stories.

[@shadowtrooper262]

Honestly I thought it was IJN Kamikaze. 😅

[@SHOPTUBE867]

Same here

[@israelvazquezplascencia883]

It survived the war but think was scrapped. U.S soldiers might of wanted to sink it for its name so badly. Mostly it said inside their minds.

[@juancho420]

Love my Fletcher

[@drakegod84]

Can we get Kamikaze pilots for the Japanese CV's plz!

[@Just_A_Random_Desk]

Sure, when carriers can detonate

[@curiousentertainment3008]

That had nothing to do with the ships design. It was the bravery and ingenuity of the crew that’s what brought her back to port.

[@sirboomsalot4902]

Well, it does help that the Fletchers were damn tough ships

[@Studmuf-Rockin]

That's one tough Kidd

[@Arengeesus]

Normal DDs : ARGH! FUCK CVs! REMOVE THEM!
Kidd : ARGH! NO CV?! I WANT MY FEAST!
Normal DDs : I hate planes, they're annoying!
Kidd : I eat planes for dinner.

[@kristoffermangila]

Arrgh!

[@lucashettig2910]

The veteran talking was in the movie battleship

[@giancarlotanyag1167]

Hey that ship like greyhound right because he made a moive

[@machinesandthings9641]

My grandfather Louis godreau was on the ship gunning that day. He had just changed shift when they got hit and the man who took his place was killed. He was one of the few who survived. He then went to the uss black. He said the Japanese who fly at them with the sun behind their back to blind them as they were trying to shoot them down.

[@legohistorysam]

USS Laffey 724 had a kamikaze attack. Well it was most likely a Battle.

[@rembestgirl4949]

she deserve for naval legends video (if weegee willingly go to patriots point where laffey anchor)

[@estoyaqui5386]

and in wows the DDs are the back -bone- , all bobs run just to the BBs

[@patriksepte9431]

Kamikaze: attacks
USS Kidd: doesn't sink
Kamikaze pilot: You are Kidding me...
(Ps. Don't want to make a joke about anyone's death, be it the Japanese pilots or the US sailors but I had to write it. This was a pun that had to be made.)

[@c.mechabuilds7471]

I have this ship :3
My first premium

[@trevlang1693]

I went to the kidd yesterday. It’s about 45 minutes away from where I live

[@kaeru1014]

What I heard was, "small, fast, nimble little shits..."

[@georgecampbell9638]

Can you guys talk about the USS Missouri?

[@stevenmoore4612]

USS Billy the Kidd is more fitting!

[@fockewulf9518]

Fukushima kamakrazie

[@DBT1007]

This kid got a place

[@MZzz-cg4rt]

Is this why you guys made it an AA destroyer?

[@MZzz-cg4rt]

[@cipher0324]

They were like 'No more fucking Kamikaze on me'

[@frostedcat]

indeed

[@JustFishh]

nice

[@_keji_5110]

will the world of console warships be somehow later equal to that of pc?

[@colmcorbec7031]

Same feeling when your in a BB but your AA is nerved / reworked to shit and more sky rats are closing in at the end of the match..

[@Rhongomyniad653]

Well..

[@nachomaxsjptf7512]
