    THE BACK STORY as I was told
    Lamson
    was laid down 20 March 1934 by
    Bath Iron Works
    Corp., Bath, Maine; launched 17 June 1936; sponsored by Miss Francis W. Andrews; and commissioned 21 October 1936, Commander H. E. Paddock in command. SERVED the entire WWII WAR and was stripped down and served as a test ship
    However,
    Lamson
    was still destined to play a valuable role in America’s progress as she arrived at
    Bikini Atoll
    later in May 1946 to participate in
    Operation Crossroads
    . The destroyer was sunk in Test Able, the atomic explosion 2 July 1946.
    Lamson
    received five
    battle stars
    for World War II service.
