September 13, 2015 marks the 65th Anniversary of the Six
Sitting Ducks participation in the Inchon Invasion that followed on
September 15. The first to fire, the DeHaven along with the Mansfield
DD-728, Swenson DD-729, Collette DD-730, Henderson DD-785
and the Gurke DD-783, paved the way for the invasion. We've put
together a few links below to help you review this important event.
