Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The U.S. Navy destroyer USS Du Pont (DD-152) in 1942. She had completed modifications for convoy escort duties: the after stack has been deleted and the other three lowered, and the armament altered. In addition to new 76 mm guns and two torpedo mounts, the ship now had four 20 mm antiaircraft guns, two depth-charge racks, and six Mk 6 depth-charge mortars. Du Pont appears to be painted in Camouflage Measure 15.
