THE BACK STORY as I was told
Lamson
was laid down 20 March 1934 by
Bath Iron Works
Corp., Bath, Maine; launched 17 June 1936; sponsored by Miss Francis W. Andrews; and commissioned 21 October 1936, Commander H. E. Paddock in command. SERVED the entire WWII WAR and was stripped down and served as a test ship
However,
Lamson
was still destined to play a valuable role in America’s progress as she arrived at
Bikini Atoll
later in May 1946 to participate in
Operation Crossroads
. The destroyer was sunk in Test Able, the atomic explosion 2 July 1946.
Lamson
received five
battle stars
for World War II service.
