Fletcher Technical
The Technical section highlights the physical and engineering attributes of the Fletcher Class Destroyer and specifically the USS Stoddard.
Take the time to read the Fletcher Class magazine article. It says: "Long and lean, powerful and fast, they performed a variety of roles..."
Since we can't visit her in person, explore the Virtual Tour of the USS The Sullivans I made in 2000, or review the ship drawings of the USS Trathen (DD-530).
