USS Strong DD 467 and DESRON 21
I want to hear from anyone who had a family member who served in DESRON 21 consisting of the USS Strong, USS Chevalier, USS O'Bannon and the USS Nicholas. Also part of this squadron were the light cruisers Helena, Honolulu and St. Louis. They engaged with the Japanese on July 5th-6th of 1943, and Strong and Helena were both lost in those two days. Looking for stories from survivors. The reason I'm doing this research can be found here: www.projectuss-strongdd467.com.
