I just recently purchased a Tamiya Flecher in 1/350 which will be my first ship in 1/350 and was curious as to any Fletchers that served in the Atlantic, also the kit looks like a High Bridge with the Porthole windows (right). can ayone help with links or list of the ships. thanks in advance.

Start here: http://www.destroyerhistory.org/fletcherclass/index.html. It lists all the ships, has histories, photos, etc.
Then, go here: http://www.shipmodels.info/mws_forum/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=8105, where you'll find 40 pages of discussion just on the Fletcher class.
You can also check here: http://www.navsource.org/archives/06idx.htm, where you'll find lots of photos, but it's organized by hull number, not by class.
Jeff Herne's "Fletcher, Sumner & Gearing Class" book is a good resource on the Fletcher class as well.
