DE CLASSIFIED

USS TOMICH DE-242, like her namesake, served with great distinction. She guarded convoys across the Atlantic, fended off Axis air attacks, and searched for U-boats along the East Coast. While this destroyer escort has a fascinating service history in her own right, the story of her namesake, his service medal, and the search for descendants makes this a must-listen!
