U.S. Navy Destroyers
Allen M. Sumner-Class Destroyers
The next evolution of American destroyer design. Built on the Fletcher hull with twin 5-inch/38 gun mounts instead of singles, the Sumner class packed six guns into three turrets - more firepower with better fire control. 58 ships were completed from 1943 to 1945, arriving just in time for the brutal final campaigns at Iwo Jima and Okinawa. Three were lost to enemy action. The design proved so successful it led directly to the Gearing class, which extended the hull for more fuel capacity.
Lost in Action - 3 Ships
1944–1945
Three Allen M. Sumner-class destroyers were lost in combat - one to a torpedo at Ormoc Bay and two to kamikazes off Okinawa.

DD-733 USS Mannert L. Abele
PACIFIC
Kamikaze, Okinawa
⚓ LOST IN ACTION
Apr 12, 1945
Date Lost
The first major U.S. warship sunk off Okinawa. Mannert L. Abele was hit by a conventional kamikaze and then struck by an Ohka rocket-powered suicide bomb - the first successful Ohka attack of the war. The rocket-bomb punched through her engine room and Abele broke apart. 84 men killed. Named for a Marine lieutenant killed at Guadalcanal.
DD-741 USS Drexler
PACIFIC
Kamikaze, Okinawa
⚓ LOST IN ACTION
