During WWII, U.S. Navy sailors on destroyers affectionately called their 2,000-ton warships - "TIN CANS." These sleek, agile warships were armed with 5" guns, many anti-aircraft guns, torpedoes, and depth charges. As the war progressed, these sailors knew that their warships would be called upon to protect convoys crossing U-boat infested waters of the Atlantic Ocean. In the Pacific theater, DDs would sail "In Harm's Way" off Guadalcanal and Okinawa. DDs were the workhorses for the U.S. Navy.
