Maurice Clements was on the USS Kidd 71 years ago when a kamikaze attack killed 38 of his friends. Now, the ship on which he served is a war memorial and museum in his home town of Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Been to the USS Kidd several times, it is IMHO, the best preserved of the ubiqitous Fletcher class destroyers that served the US extremely well in WWII and beyond.
