USS Ward & Captain Outerbridge

Shipmates,

Below is a link to an article from the December 2016 issue of Seapower, the magazine of the US Navy League.  The article is about the destroyer USS Ward and her commanding officer on December 7, 1941. That commanding officer was LT CDR William Outerbridge who, 11 plus years later on July 22, 1953, became the commanding officer of the USS Los Angeles CA-135.  The article is here:

Happy New Year,
