The USS Pruitt DD-347 was a storied destroyer in the United States Navy, which played a pivotal role during the 1940s. Launched on February 29, 1928, the Pruitt was named in honor of U.S. Marine Corps Sergeant John Pruitt, who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his heroism during World War I. As a part of the Clemson-class of destroyers, the USS Pruitt DD-347 was designed for speed, agility, and firepower, with its robust armament and advanced engineering.

The 10 Best Destroyers In 2023-2024
Destroyers were relatively small ships with limited endurance for unsupervised ocean operations prior to World War II, and most missions involved multiple destroyers and a single destroyer tender. The war resulted in larger destroyers. The American destroyers of the Allen M. Sumner class displaced 2,200 tonnes, while the largest vessels in the Arleigh Burke class can displace up to 9,600 tonnes. Furthermore, destroyers were able to perform the surface-combatant responsibilities once held by battleships and cruisers thanks to the development of guided missiles. Because of this, modern guided-missile destroyers have grown in size and strength, becoming increasingly capable of operating independently.

The Most Feared Destroyer - Documentary Movies.
Before World War II, destroyers were light vessels with little endurance for unattended ocean operations; typically a number of destroyers and a single destroyer tender operated together. After the war, the advent of the guided missile allowed destroyers to take on the surface combatant roles previously filled by battleships and cruisers. This resulted in larger and more powerful guided missile destroyers more capable of independent operation.

The Destroyers shown in the film include the USS Bordelon (DD-881), the USS Strong (DD-758), the USS Brownson (DD-868), and the USS Gearing (DD-710).
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND / CONTEXT
In naval terminology, a destroyer is a fast, maneuverable long-endurance warship intended to escort larger vessels in a fleet, convoy or battle group and defend them against smaller powerful short-range attackers. They were originally developed in the late 19th century as a defense against torpedo boats, and by the time of the Russo-Japanese War in 1904, these "torpedo boat destroyers" (TBDs) were "large, swift, and powerfully armed torpedo boats designed to destroy other torpedo boats." Although the term "destroyer" had been used interchangeably with "TBD" and "torpedo boat destroyer" by navies since 1892, the term "torpedo boat destroyer" had been generally shortened to simply "destroyer" by nearly all navies by the First World War.
Before World War 2, destroyers were light vessels with little endurance for unattended ocean operations; typically a number of destroyers and a single destroyer tender operated together. After the war, the advent of the guided missile allowed destroyers to take on the surface combatant roles previously filled by battleships and cruisers. This resulted in larger and more powerful guided missile destroyers more capable of independent operation.
At the start of the 21st century, destroyers are the global standard for surface combatant ships, with only three nations (United States, Russia, and Peru) operating the heavier class cruisers, with no battleships or true battlecruisers remaining. Modern destroyers, also known as guided missile destroyers, are equivalent in tonnage but vastly superior in firepower to cruisers of the World War 2 era, and are capable of carrying nuclear tipped cruise missiles. At 510 feet (160 m) long, a displacement of 9200 tons, and with armament of more than 90 missiles, guided missile destroyers such as the Arleigh Burke class are actually larger and more heavily armed than most previous ships classified as guided missile cruisers.

This film is about the story of the destroyer escorts and their services in the U.S. Navy it shows the construction and launch of the USS Frament (DE-677) in June 28 1943 and USS Brennan (DE-13) in August 22 1942.
The Destroyer Escort was the United States Navy mid-20th century classification for a 20-knot (23 mph) warship designed with endurance to escort mid-ocean convoys of merchant marine ships. Kaibōkan were designed for a similar role in the Imperial Japanese Navy. The Royal Navy and Commonwealth forces identified such warships as frigates, and that classification was widely accepted when the United States redesignated destroyer escorts as frigates in 1975. Destroyer escorts, frigates and kaibōkan were mass-produced for World War II as a less expensive anti-submarine warfare alternative to fleet destroyers.
Post war destroyer escorts and frigates were larger than those produced during wartime, with increased anti-aircraft capability, but remained smaller and slower than post war destroyers. As Cold War destroyer escorts became as large as wartime destroyers, the United States Navy converted some of their World War II destroyers to escort destroyers.

The USS Pruitt DD-347 was a storied destroyer in the United States Navy, which played a pivotal role during the 1940s. Launched on February 29, 1928, the Pruitt was named in honor of U.S. Marine Corps Sergeant John Pruitt, who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his heroism during World War I. As a part of the Clemson-class of destroyers, the USS Pruitt DD-347 was designed for speed, agility, and firepower, with its robust armament and advanced engineering.
In the late 1930s, the USS Pruitt DD-347 was stationed in the Pacific, participating in various training exercises and fleet maneuvers. As tensions escalated in the Pacific region, the Pruitt continued its mission to ensure the safety of American interests and protect shipping lanes. In late 1941, the Pruitt found itself stationed at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and was present during the devastating surprise attack by Japanese forces on December 7th.
During the attack on Pearl Harbor, the USS Pruitt DD-347 was anchored alongside the USS Whitney, a destroyer tender. Despite the chaos and destruction, the Pruitt's crew managed to man their battle stations and engage the enemy with anti-aircraft fire. The Pruitt suffered minimal damage and no casualties during the attack, thanks to the quick response of its crew and the protection provided by the nearby Whitney.
Following the Pearl Harbor attack, the USS Pruitt DD-347 underwent repairs and upgrades before joining the fight in the Pacific theater. As a part of Task Force 17, the Pruitt participated in several pivotal engagements during the early years of World War II, including the Battle of the Coral Sea in May 1942. The Pruitt provided valuable anti-aircraft cover for the aircraft carriers USS Lexington and USS Yorktown during the battle, which proved to be a strategic victory for the United States and its allies, halting the Japanese advance in the Pacific.
In August 1942, the USS Pruitt DD-347 was involved in the Guadalcanal Campaign, supporting the amphibious landings and providing anti-submarine and anti-aircraft protection for the invasion fleet. The Pruitt also participated in the Battle of the Eastern Solomons later that month, again providing crucial support for the aircraft carriers and helping to fend off Japanese air attacks. The Pruitt's continued presence in the Pacific theater was a testament to its resilience and the dedication of its crew.
As the war progressed, the Pruitt continued to support various campaigns and battles throughout the Pacific. In 1943, the destroyer participated in the New Georgia Campaign and later the Bougainville Campaign, providing screening and escort duties for larger vessels, as well as supporting amphibious landings with gunfire support.
In 1944, the USS Pruitt DD-347 supported the invasion of the Philippines, notably participating in the Battle of Leyte Gulf, one of the largest naval battles in history. The Pruitt was responsible for defending the fleet from enemy aircraft and submarines, once again showcasing its versatility and importance in the broader war effort.
As World War II came to a close in 1945, the Pruitt remained active in the Pacific, participating in the occupation of Japan and assisting with the repatriation of Allied prisoners of war. The Pruitt's service during the 1940s was a testament to the bravery and dedication of its crew, as well as the resilience of the ship itself.
After the war, the USS Pruitt DD-347 was decommissioned on November 5, 1945, and later sold for scrap on December 20, 1946. The Pruitt's legacy, however, would live on as a symbol of the United States Navy's determination and commitment during one of the most challenging periods in history.
