USS HAZELWOOD (DD-531) A SURVIVOR

Her superstructure all but totally destroyed by hell-bent Japanese Kamikaze, the bloodied survivors of the destroyer Hazelwood refused to give up the ship.

You will not believe how much damage this ship and the crew endured.

  3. My husband’s father, Marion T. Davenport, was an engine man on the USS Hazelwood during the kamikaze attack during the battle of Okinawa. He was also a survivor, but is now deceased.
