Pickets in Harm’s Way: How Small Ships Took the Brunt at Okinawa

Radar Picket Destroyers off Okinawa, World War II follows the destroyers and small escorts sent to the very edge of the fleet to face kamikaze raids first. From isolated radar stations in the waters around Okinawa, these ships watched the scopes, called in fighters, and took the hits meant for carriers, battleships, and crowded transports closer to shore. This episode traces one of the most dangerous jobs in the Pacific war, where a single radar screen and a few decks of guns stood between the fleet and disaster. Headline Wednesday is the Wednesday feature of Dispatch: U.S. Military History Magazine, and the series is developed by Trackpads.com.
