DM 34 Aaron Ward. Another Sumner class DM crippled off Kerama Rito / Okinawa. Seems that these DM's were very dangerous ships on which to serve. A good half dozen of about a dozen were very nearly blown out of the water.....

Yep it is

The Aaron Ward is correct.

DD473, USS Aaron Ward was lost 7 April 1943 off Guadalcanal.

When I was in nursing school, I took care of a man who lost his brother on the DM34 Aaron Ward. He was part of the crew of a the 40m guns just forward of the after 5in turret. A Japanese plan struck the ship at the guns, sweeping them into the sea. No bodies of any of the crew were ever found.

The potato goes to T.A. It is the New Mexico, photographed in 1942. Heck, the New Mexico, the Mississippi, and the Idaho are pretty hard to tell apart at this stage of the war, although the 20mm gun platform differed on the Idaho..

Does this mean n-t-n-v-2 is open again ?

if so....then,

she went down protecting her little convoy against 3 Heavy Cruisers & 2 Destroyers. She was out gunned, out armored, and slower, but very brave.

Actually, the quickest Id on her is the stack. New Mexico is the only one of the three by mid war without a stack cap that rakes back. Idaho got 5"/38 singles instead of the 5"/25 pre-war AA guns and easy point of reference.

Well, its a Grimsby class corvette. I suspect from the sun canopy one of the four Australian ones of the class. Ah! With the text: HMAS Yarra U77.

yes it is

a go for someone
