"The ship that would not die"

[hink441]

I just got this old USS Laffey patch. I was pretty stoked about this one. I think the patch is probably from the 1960s.

 

 

This is what the Laffey looked like after the Okinawa kamikaze attacks.

That's a great find Hink. Beautiful patch! That ship has an amazing history.

Thanks Jon,

I really like the fact that the Laffey was in on D-Day and the Pacific. She got to bloody the nose of both Germans and Japanese.

 

Stay safe,
