She has the distinction of being the last U.S. warship to be damaged in combat during the war. She survived the war only to be sunk as a target ship in Operation Crossroads at Bikini Atoll.
Condition: Old rectangular repair at the top of the canton affecting one star; a few scattered closed splits. Good condition.
