USS Fessenden
Edsall-Class Destroyer Escort
This was my grandfather's ship when he served in the Navy. Seventy years ago during World War II, this ship made a depth charge attack in the waters south of the Cape Verde Islands and destroyed the German submarine U-1062.
Grandpa was seven years old at the time of the U-Boat sinking. He served on board the Fessenden in the mid 1950's. That's him on the right.
