Do you know that in 1943, the situation of World War II began to change a little, and the Allies seemed to have finally caught the little tail of victory and began to **. They can be found everywhere in the islands of the South Pacific, North Africa and the Mediterranean. But do you know how to do it**? At that time, the attack had to be carried out by boat. Those destroyers, they are responsible for escorting and bringing personnel and equipment ashore safely.
Do you know about the "Fletcher"-class destroyers? It was the star ship of World War II! In 1943, they began to join the battlefield in large numbers, not only in large numbers, but also in terms of equipment. The kind of high-power radar installed on it is super powerful for finding enemies on the sea or in the air. Coupled with its high speed, it can closely follow the high-speed task force even in strong winds and waves. Of course, the excellent "Fletcher" class did not stop the American destroyers. Because during the war, everyone slowly discovered the importance of air defense operations. So, the United States later designed the "Sumner" and "Keeling" class destroyers. The two brothers not only had a larger displacement and more firepower, but also installed a lot of super powerful anti-aircraft guns.
In 1944 and 1945, the Allies were getting closer to victory. At that time, American destroyers were simply guardians of the ocean. They formed a large net with radar and anti-aircraft guns, keeping those pesky enemy aircraft out and protecting our capital ships and transports. And ah, in addition to escorting, they also provided a lot of help to the landing force. During the Battle of Normandy and the Battle of Iwo Jima, the destroyers even rushed to a distance of 1,000 meters from the coast, aiming directly at the enemy's fire points and giving them a good time. Finally, when Japan announced its surrender on August 15, 1945, the Allies finally ushered in victory. While dozens of U.S. destroyers sank in the war, many more survived and fulfilled their mission. In the more than three years of World War II, American destroyers made indelible achievements!
