USS AMICK

USS AMICK was involved in the sinking of the last U-Boat (U-853) during WWII off the coast of Rhode Island. Unfortunately for the crew that is a little known fact. The ship would go on to serve in the Japanese and Philippine navies before being scrapped in 1989. Join Viktor as he guides us through her history.
