  • Fletcher Class Destroyers by Captain George
    Fletcher Class Destroyers By Captain George Stewart, USN (RET) as reported on www.NavyHistory.com This is the first of a series of articles describing life in the 1950s on a World War II built Fletcher Class Destroyer. My connection to these ships began as I was approaching graduation from the Massachusetts Maritime Academy in August of 1956. Due to a change in legislation, it was suddenly announced that all of my class would be required to serve on active duty in the Navy for 3 years upon graduation. My orders turned out to be to the USS Halsey Powell (DD 686), a Fletcher Class Destroyer home ported in San Diego, California. At the time I had not quite reached my 21st birthday. The Fletcher class destroyers were authorized as part of the 1941-42 Shipbuilding Program. They incorporated many lessons learned from earlier classes of destroyers built during the 1930s and in the early stages of World War II, particularly relating to stability and sea keeping ability. During the 1930s, the Navy had produced a succession of “step deck” destroyer designs with raised forecastles. But the Fletcher Class reverted to a “flush deck” design like the destroyers of World War I. Most of the ships were initially assigned to the Pacific Fleet where they were to play a major role in the war. A total of 175 Fletcher Class Destroyers were commissioned between 4 June 1942 and 22 February 1945. The lead ship of the class was USS Fletcher (DD 445). Hull numbers ranged between 445 and 691 plus an additional block between 792 and 804.

    Fostering support and friendship at Dudley Square ‘ROUND THE SQUARE HONORING THE VETERANS OF DUDLEY SQUARE The Dudley Publishing Committee presents a revised edition of last year’s publication to honor those among our members who are veterans. The intent is to profile and provide a vehicle for each of Dudley’s veterans to inform the rest of us about their service to this great country of ours. Each man was asked to describe his service to the degree that he felt comfortable. As the project progressed, though, it began to take on a life of its own. In As You Like It, Shakespeare compares life to a play and the world to a stage when he has Jaques say1, All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts . Along with Shakespeare, recall part of the third verse of America The Beautiful2 which relates . O beautiful for heroes proved in liberating strife, Who more than self their country loved, And mercy more than life! When these divergent aspects are combined; however, we can see each of our Dudley veterans as men who performed their role and provided service for the common good —both to those living at that time along with those that have and will come after. In one sense, our Dudley group is a microcosm of thousands 1 William Shakespeare: The Complete Works. The Edition of The Shakespeare Head Press, New York: Barnes & Noble, © 1994. p. 622.
