INTRODUCTION THIS is the personal history of the U. S. S. LUDLOW written by a few old hands on board at the end to be made up and sent to every officer and man who ever served aboard her. A She was built when the people of this country became alarmed about the fall of France and were beginning to worry about our own national security. The sons of these same people manned her. Her officers and men were the kind of citizen navy the Axis thought the United States couldn't produce. Truck drivers, mechanics, school teachers, printers, farmers, grocery clerks and just plain school kids all reluctantly left civilian life to come aboard and fight their country's enemies from her decks. The LUDLOW made a proud war record. She was one of the most active destroyers the United States Navy has ever hadf As the war went on she became a happy and a lucky ship. It goes without saying that a lucky ship is a smart one and the LUDLOW always got results when it came to mixing it up with the enemy. Now it's all over. We won as we knew we had to and the men who manned her are going home to pick up their lives where they left off. The LUDLOW, who served her purpose so well, is being retired to the Reserve Fleet at Charleston, South Carolina, where she'll spend the rest of her days in peace unless the country needs her again. 3
