I'd probably do the Laffey, a Alan M Sumner that was hit by something like 6 kamikazes, 3 bombs and failed to sink. Either that or a Porter class, because they were the coolest looking destoyers ever built. Aside from, a 4 piper just for cool points.
I would do the Kidd. Just for the pirate flag she flies. Not to mention she is a museum ship in Baton Rouge.
