US destroyer providing fire support for Marines on Iwo Jima - Combat footage
Показать описание
Featured is rare color footage of an American destroyer providing fire support for Marines during the Battle of Iwo Jima day 2. Thank you to those who helped identify this vessel. If you have any additional information about this clip, please share.
-Update: I am nearly certain that this is the Robert H. Smith Class Destroyer/minelayer Henry A. Wiley, DD-749/DM-29. The ship was initially configured as a destroyer and later converted to a minelayer.
Armament consists of:
6 × 5 in (127 mm)/38 cal. guns (the classic 5" -38 mounts)
12 × 40 mm Bofors AA guns (2 × 4, 2 × 2)[1]
11 × 20 mm Oerlikon AA guns
2 × Depth charge tracks
4 × K-gun depth charge projectors
80 × mines
