Hey guys. I found this website the other day and I thought I'd share.
Destroyer History
It has some great info on all the classes, the bulders and some first person accounts.
I was happy to find the builders page. My grandfather and my wife's grandfather both worked at Consolidated in Orange, Tx during the war.
