from the novel Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson

他甚至被認為是 Robert Louis Stevenson 所著的小說「金銀島」中

Mrs. Kidd thought that was a great idea and got permission for them

Flint 船長的靈感來源之一

to fly our flag and also to paint a pirate upon the Fort smokestack

Kidd 夫人也認為是個好點子　也允許船員們這麼做

Admiral Kidd nickname as it turns out part of the reason

在船上升起海盜旗和在前煙囪畫上海盜圖案

that this actually worked in the Navy gave permission

Kidd 少將的暱稱在一部分上

came from all walks of life they might have ended the Navy without any

特定年齡層的人們都可能被徵招入伍

particular skill

各行各業的人們剛加入海軍時可能沒有

they were trained in boot camp

特殊技能

or they once got on board ship

他們投入新兵訓練營

there was a phrase called striking to rate the 330 people coming from all walks of life

或到了船上後

a lot of people different religions different ethnicities

對 330 人來自各行各業的人進行所謂的「震撼教育」

that had different cultural backgrounds to the mix

很多來自不同地區不同種族

in a small little ship

不同文化背景的人們

it’s an interesting time for a lot of

要在這艘小船上融為一體

a major part of world war two she spent in hot moist climates

這是一段相當有趣的時光

the crew had a really hard time facing temperatures up to 35 to 40 degrees Celsius

在第二次世界大戰的多數時間她待在炎熱潮濕氣候的地區

and even hotter inside the hull

水兵要面對艱困的攝氏 35 到 40 度氣溫

at the beginning of World War two five weeks after pearl harbor

在船內甚至更熱

and 17 years old i join the Navy

在第二次世界大戰爆發　珍珠港事件五週以後

I went through training center in San Diego

在 17 歲那一年我加入海軍

and welded up in Pearl Harbor Hawaii

在 San Diego 的新兵訓練營

on savage crew savage the sunken ship that was sunk during attack on December 7th 1941

完成新訓後被派往珍珠港

I work for sixty days without stopping

為了清除 1941 年 12 月 7 日日本空襲造成的船艦殘骸和水兵屍體

10 to 12 hours a day cleaning up removing ammunition

我連續工作 60 天

standing by while they picked up bodies and never did that

每天工作 10 到 12 小時清理並移除彈藥

us young boys school with the bodies thankfully

並在他們清出水兵屍體時待命協助搬動屍體

destroyers those days really lacked internal space

還好我們從未遇到

the placement of living space was predominantly ruled by ships design and convenience was secondary

那個年代的驅逐艦內部空間狹小

enlisting crew slept on top in the magazine that they took it

起居空間明顯地被船艦設計所限制　舒適性居次

there and there's an explosion

水兵們就睡在彈藥庫上方

unfortunately you would lose those crew members

如果彈藥庫不幸被擊中

and for that reason

那區的水兵就會全數陣亡

the crew did not sleep

因為這個原因

segregated according to their division all the engineers wouldn't be in one spot

船員不會睡在一起

all the Gunners would be in another spot

相同部門的像是輪機兵不會睡在同一區域

you would have them scattered throughout the ship so that if he did take a hit like that

炮手不會睡在同一區域

you wouldn't lose a large percentage one area

因此水兵們的起居空間分散在船上各處　如果不幸被擊中

the US fleet has always longed to maximize survivability events vessels

就不會損失大量特定部門的水兵

all expedient equipment was designed in order to help the crew to repair any damage possible

美軍船艦設計時一直追求存活力最大化

for instance the cruise hammocks were made water and fireproof

所有應急設備的目的都是為了協助水兵修復任何可能的戰損

these could easily be used to plug modest sized holes in the ship and stamp out a fire

舉例來說　水兵的吊床使用防水防火材質

we are in radio central here bored the Kidd

這樣就可以輕易用來堵住小型漏洞　並悶滅火災

during the kamikaze attack in 1945

我們現在在 Kidd 號的無線電通訊室

this area was hit pretty hard by the bomb blast that shredded the entire portside

在 1945 年的神風特攻隊攻擊下

a lot of the wounded from that attack came from this area

這區在攻擊時被炸彈命中　左舷部分整個被夷平

the situation in the pacific became quite heated by the end of the 1930

那次攻擊的傷亡主要來自於這一區

Japan had invaded China and was preparing to advance towards the US

1930 年代太平洋的局勢逐漸升溫

moreover the Japanese fleet grew very rapidly

日本入侵中國並準備攻擊美國

the thread didn't remain unnoticed from over the ocean

更甚者　日本艦隊的規模迅速成長

the US military machine developed classes have ships

太平洋對岸也感受到這股威脅

one after another gradually improving their characteristics

美軍設計各級船艦

all the ships in the Navy the battle wagons get all the attention and

一級一級地逐步改善性能

the aircraft carriers all the glory but arguably the backbone in the fleet has always been destroyers

在海軍船艦中戰艦吸引了所有注意力

small fast maneuverable ships with dual purpose armament

航空母艦獲得所有榮耀　但實際上艦隊的骨幹一直是驅逐艦

which can often pack at punch quite above their weight

短小、迅速、機動力強　配有兩用兵裝

when the most numerous classes was the Fletcher class destroyer 175 were built

常常能製造比自身龐大的輸出

and we r on one right now USS Kidd

其中數量最龐大的是 Fletcher 級驅除艦　一共建造了 175 艘

which is pretty much 1945 configuration is it wasn't the end the war

我們現在就在其中本級其中一艘　Kidd 號上

work on Fletcher class ships was initiated in 1939

現在的裝備大多與 1945 年戰爭結束時相同

right before world war two broke up

Fletcher 級的設計工作在 1939 年開始

they turned out to be larger than their predecessors

正好在第二次世界大戰爆發前

allowing for an increase in their battle potential

最終比她的前身還要龐大

a number of additional measures were introduced to so as to increase sustainability

預留足夠的潛能來提高戰力

the decks armor was up to 90 millimeters thick

同時引進一些額外措施來增強生存性

the engine and boiler rooms were placed far away from each other

甲板裝甲最厚有 90 公厘

such an arrangement lowered the chances are the ship's immobilization

輪機和鍋爐室分開配置

even if heavily damaged

這樣的設計可以降低船艦癱瘓的機率

Fletchers turned out to be outstandingly robust withstanding multiple successful

就算受到嚴重損害

a fact that really lifted the spirits of the crews onboard

Fletcher 級極其兼顧，能成功抵抗多重攻擊

major caliber canons were designed to engage both aerial and ground targets

這能大幅提升艦上水兵的士氣

the shells were clipped with remote fuses that significantly increased the power of the ship's artillery fire

主炮被設計為可以同時攻擊平面和空中目標

with a good selection of weaponry from dual-purpose 5 inchess guns and anti-ship torpedoes 90 submarines depth charges

炮彈使用近發引信　可以有效提升火力

At least I had a fair chance of being a danger to pretty much anything that a matter on the high seas

優異的武器配置　從高平兩用 5 吋炮到魚雷、反潛深水炸彈

despite the high battle potential

幾乎能對海上任何目標造成威脅

Fletchers were never designed for solo operations

儘管擁有極高的戰鬥力

as a rule, they were used in squadrons similar to any other destroyers

Fletcher 級設計上從未要求單獨作戰

destroyers will be in divisions have three in four squadrons rate of 9

通常她們會和其他驅逐艦一樣編成驅逐艦隊使用

the usual task were escort duty

分艦隊通常會由三到四個驅逐艦隊組成，總共九艘

anti-submarine warfare pickets ships reconnaissance screening and pretty much anything that as ship could do it or could be asked to do

她們通常會被賦予

based on their powerful armament unique survivability sophisticated fire control systems

護衛船團、反潛、哨戒艦、偵查、施放煙幕和任何她能完成的任務

long operational range and decency keeping

因為她強大的火力、獨特的生存性、精密的火控系統

Fletchers are rightfully considered one of the best ships at this time

廣大的行動範圍和優異的耐海性

of course along with many other classes of ships they also had their fair share of casualties during the war

Fletcher 級被認為當時最優秀的船艦之一

there were 25 Fletcher class destroyers that were sunk during world war 2

當然和其他級船艦一樣　她們在戰爭中也承受了一定的傷亡

Japanese kamikaze tactics became their major headache

在第二次世界大戰中有 25 艘 Fletcher 級驅逐艦戰沉

the ships were quite an easy target patrolling far away from major forces

日本神風攻擊戰術成為她們主要的問題

and it was April 1945 that our Pacific piratefirst encountered kamikaze pilots

和主力艦隊分開巡邏的驅逐艦是簡單的目標

Kidd was patrolling in a group of four destroyers

1945 年 4 月她首次遭遇神風攻擊

a couple aircraft were spotted in the sky

Kidd 號和其他三艘驅逐艦執行巡邏任務時

seemingly having a dog fight with one another

在天空發現兩架敵機的蹤影

perplexed to have detected an allied plane

看起來在相互纏鬥

the ship's ceased fire and kept observing

誤以為目標是己方戰機的驅逐艦

Only when the couple started to descend accrues realize

停止開火並持續觀察

The realize it was a trap set by Kamikaze

當這兩架戰機開始下降時　水兵們才意識到

1 of the plane was shut down but the other one hit the USS kids Deck

這是神風特攻隊設下的陷阱

almost a third of the crew was incapacitated

其中一架被擊落　但另一架撞上 Kidd 號的甲板

38 killed 45 wounded

將近 1/3 的水兵非死即傷

the chief mechanic was boiled alive in the ship's boiler rooms

38 名陣亡　 45 名受傷

the ship's doctor was cut by a bomb fragment and lost his eyes

輪機長在鍋爐艙內被活活燒死

making him unable to fulfill his duty

艦上醫官炸彈碎片擊中雙眼失去視力

he was carrying a camera that he used to shoot the battle

無法繼續救治傷患

after the explosion its film was mostly burnt

他身上戴著一具相機記錄戰鬥場景

except for the pregnant displaying the kamikaze plane directly before the impact

在爆炸後他多數的底片都被焚毀

the young boy and all the young boys who put in the most dangerous

除了這張顯示自殺飛機撞擊前一刻的底片碎片

dirtiest jobs

所有年輕人負責最危險

on my shield I was in the proud a magazine

最骯髒的工作

I had no idea was gonna be here I don't know what happened

我當時在彈藥庫搬運彈藥

well all I know is a bang the lights went out

我不知道接下來會發生什麼事也不知道發生了什麼事

I went out I woke up

我知道的只是一聲巨大的「砰」　燈光暗下來

could say anything cuz it was so dark

我出去後醒來

despite all these casualties the Kidd managed to move away for repairs under her own steam

看不到任何東西　周遭一片黑暗

this surely outlines the outstanding construction of Fletchers

儘管傷亡慘重　 Kidd 號仍依靠自己的動力離開戰場接受維修

and to the high skill the crews aboard

這彰顯了 Fletcher 級的不凡設計

however this was the end of world war two for the USS Kidd

和艦上水兵的高超技術

later she would participate in the Korean War supporting ground force with her cannon

但對 Kidd 號來說　第二次世界大戰結束了

during her service years the USS Kidd was awarded with 12 battle stars

之後她參加韓戰　以艦上火力掩護陸上部隊

8 during world war 2 and the rest in the Korean events

服役生涯中 Kidd 號一共獲得 12 枚戰鬥之星勳章

the ship also participated in numerous landing operations across the Pacific Ocean island's

其中 8 枚在二戰中取得　其餘則是在韓戰取得

repel aerial attacks of the Japanese and even scored a film role in"run silent run deep"

她也參與太平洋地區無數次的登陸行動

a movie dedicated to US submarines

擊退日本空襲　甚至參與電影「太平洋喋血記」

in 1964 after 20 years of service the destroyer now inferior in certain parameters was finally decommissioned

描述美軍潛水艇的電影

nevertheless a lucky fate save the pirate ship from the doc cutters

1964 年　再服役20年後　這艘性能已經落伍的驅逐艦終於退役

as it was decided to leave her among three Fletchers said to be renovated

但運氣將她從拆解場中拯救回來

and turned into floating museums

當時決定修復 3 艘 Fletcher 級

she's been brought here to Baton Rouge

並做為海上博物館

as a memorial for the States' veterans

她被帶到 Baton Rouge

destroyer Navy veterans all around the country

來紀念本州

and as rated one of the most accurate historical ships

驅逐艦和全國海軍榮民

in the historically which spent about five come

她被認為是所有紀念艦中

the name USS Kidd now belongs to the new Arleigh-Burkeclass a ship

歷史考證最為精確的一艘

the sole pirate it may now sleep well for flaggers and reliable hands

Kidd 這個名字現在屬於全新 Arleigh Burke 級驅逐艦
