USS Hammann DD-412 was tied up along side the damaged USS Yorktown CV-5 on June the 6th 1942. She was aiding the DC parties on Yorktown when 1 of 4 torpedoes fired at Yorktown, by a Japanese submarine, hit her amidships. She sank in less than 4 minutes. Eighty of her sailors were killed. In later years, Hammann survivors were always warmly welcomed at the reunions of the Yorktown crew.
That’s interesting, the DD-412... The DD-214 is the discharge certificate for former military types...
