Historical Information

USS Fletcher (DD-445) was the first of the Fletcher-class destroyers built for the United States Navy. These vessels formed the backbone of the US Navy's escort forces during World War II and were widely used in operations in the Pacific, such as the Battle of the Solomon Islands and the Philippine Sea battles. The ship's service period lasted from 1942 to the early postwar years. USS Fletcher became a symbol of the modernity and effectiveness of American destroyers of that era.
