The Ship That Wouldn’t Die as Long as a Single Gun Will Fire
On April 16, 1945, Commander Julian Becton was informed that a large formation of more than 100 enemy aircraft was approaching his ship.
For 80 minutes, the Allen M. Sumner-class destroyer USS Laffey faced off against a horde of Japanese pilots, including kamikaze bombers.
