Jim Kiley: WWII - USS Law
Although a major portion of her wartime career was spent in the fast moving company of Task Forces 38 and 58, the Laws was a task force all her own off Okinawa. For more than four months she roamed the enemy held coastline. Her guns, which supported our troops ashore with 20,000 rounds of fire power, also brought down three kamikaze attackers and caused several others to swerve into the sea.
In all, the Laws earned 10 battle stars for action.
