| USS CASSIN (DD-372), flagship of DESDIV FIVE, photographed at sea in 1939. Cassin would be all but destroyed on December 7, 1941, while in dry dock at Pearl Harbor. A new hull was built around her surviving machinery and she retained her original hull number. Photograph from the NHC On-Line Library. As far as I know it is in the public domain. |
