95 viewsThe USS Cassin Young (DD-793) after recommissioning 8 September 1951 for the Korean War. The Cassin Young is still configured in her WWII configuration pretty much as she was configured when originally commissioned. The only major alteration has been removing the search lights and their platform that held them on the first stack. By May 1953 the Cassin Young was upgraded to the so called "5-gun" Standard Configuration of two quad 40mm, one twin 40mm, and one bank of Torpedo Tubes.
