A Highly Decorated Destroyer
USS Fletcher (DD-445) was the lead ship of her namesake class of destroyers, of which 175 were built during WWII, and she went on to a long and distinguished service career.
The Mogami-class was designed in 1931 as 8,500-ton light cruisers armed with five triple 15.5cm gun turrets, and the lead ship of the class, the Mogami, was completed in July 1935.
