![USS Kidd in World of Warships
ATTENTION: GAMERS!!! USS KIDD (DD-661) is a playable ship in the video game World of Warships. But just how accurate is the digital KIDD in this game? What (if anything) can we learn about how the ship looked and performed in real life based on the game? James from All American Travels hosts Tim NesSmith of the USS KIDD Veterans Museum in examining images and video to evaluate just how accurate KIDDs digital avatar fights! [Note: no live game play will be involved]
The USS KIDD is still in drydock at Thoma-Sea Shipyards in Houma, LA. Donations are still needed!
