A photo of a seemingly non-descript four-stack destroyer USS Buchanan (DD-131). However, USS Buchanan, as the HMS Campbeltown, would go on to be sacrificed as a ship bomb (for lack of a better term) in one of the most daring and important raids of World War II, the Saint-Nazaire Raid of March 1942.
