DE CLASSIFIED

Leapin’ Leo! Today, we are digging into USS LEOPOLD DE-319. LEOPOLD is the first destroyer escort sunk during World War II and the largest combat loss in the history of the U.S. Coast Guard. While learning about LEOPOLD’s namesake, you’ll hear about the bombing of Pearl Harbor, as well as USS JOYCE’s efforts to rescue LEOPOLD’s crew.

While you're here, use the transcript and bibliography to follow along, and take a look at the photos below.

If you like what you hear and can help us out by leaving a donation, we appreciate every dollar we are given! Donations are used to restore, preserve, and educate the public about USS SLATER. 

USS SLATER is a private not-for-profit museum that receives no regular support from New York State, the federal government, or the US Navy. We are funded by private donations, ticket sales, and merchandise sales. 

Thanks for listening and lending your support!

See you next month!
