USS Laffey, Naval museum ship in Mount Pleasant, United States
The USS Laffey stands at Patriots Point Naval Museum as an Allen M. Sumner-class destroyer measuring 377 feet in length with six five-inch guns.
The destroyer participated in the D-Day invasion at Utah Beach and later survived multiple kamikaze attacks near Okinawa in April 1945.
The vessel continues its educational mission by allowing visitors to explore authentic military quarters, weapon systems, and naval equipment from World War II.
Patriots Point Naval Museum maintains regular opening hours from 9 AM to 6:30 PM, with guided tours available throughout the operational areas of the ship.
The ship endured hits from three 500-pound bombs and five kamikaze planes in a single battle, leading to its designation as a National Historic Landmark.
