USS Somers - American Tier X Destroyer 1937
Somers-class lead destroyers differed from their predecessors in terms of new high-temperature boilers and the absence of a torpedo-reloading system, which made it possible to deploy three torpedo tubes positioned along the centerline. The main guns weren't dual-purpose either. During World War II, USS Somers served in the Atlantic, where she conducted patrol and escort missions. The destroyer also participated in the landings in Normandy and southern France. Over the course of World War II, the ship was awarded 2 battle stars.
