Default 8/2: two destroyers that changed the course of history...for the worse

USS Maddox DD-731 Gulf of Tonkin incident 8/2/1964IJN AMAGIRI rammed and sank John F. Kennedy's PT-109 in the Blackett Strait...8/2/1943; giving rise to JFK's Navy Cross award. "after interviewing many of the crew, one author concluded that it was not an accident, and he talked to the man at the wheel who was ordered to steer for a collision course. Amagiri also engaged other PT boats in the Blackett Strait south of Kolombangara. LT. COM. Kohei Hanami — who commanded Amagiri at that time — attended President Kennedy's inauguration in 1961.

Icon14 15" with a 'vengeance' -outdated...not outgunned!

HMS JUTLAND originally named Malplaquet: HMS RAMILLIES : Revenge Class 'in pure dazzle': In action 6/6/44 off Le Harve: still in action at the Imperial War Museum-London15" of shock and awe Ramillies provided fire support for the D-Day on 6/June/1944. Sword Beach was her assigned area; she was given the primary task of silencing the Berneville battery. The ship began by opening fire on the 6" german battery out four of the six guns in the first 80 minutes and keeping the attention of the rest, allowing landing craft to proceed unmolested. By evening she had accounted for the other two guns.
[click to enlarge]
In the course of her entire Normandy engagement, she fired 1,002 15-inch (381 mm) shells, thought to be the greatest bombardment by any single ship up to that time.
