Fletcher-class destroyer



The  Fletcher-class of destroyers were a family of naval combat ships that saw extensive service with the United States Navy in World War II. During the years 1942 and 1944, 175 Fletcher-class destroyers were commissioned for the United States. After the war, with newer ship classes coming into service, the older destroyers were sold to other navies, including those of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Greece, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Peru, South Korea, Spain, Taiwan, Turkey and West Germany. The last Fletcher-class destroyer, the Mexican BAM Cuitlahuac (ex-John Rogers), was decommissioned in 2001, ending around 60 years of service for these destroyers.

In-game
The Fletcher-class destroyers are seen in the mission "Black Cats" in Call of Duty: World at War. Apart from being "set pieces," they serve no purpose at all in the mission, and are constantly being attacked by Japanese A6M Zero Kamikaze planes.
