Summary[edit]

Description

Photo of USS Aaron Ward DM-34 taken at Kerama Retto on 5 May, 1945 before the ship headed back to the Brooklyn Navy Yard for repairs. The Ward was struck by several kamikaze planes off the Island of Okinawa while acting as a radar picket on 30 April 1945 with a loss of 25 dead, 41 wounded and 17 missing ( the Ward was later scrapped as the Navy had a surplus of Destroyers and it was so badly damaged )
