Has anyone made a card(s) for any of the four ships of the Gridley class destroyers. All four were very much involved in the Pacific. One of the class made the highest trial speed run of 42 knots.
Just asking since all four survived the war only to be sold as scrap in 1947.

I think that Torpedo line would be 3/3/2 due to increase in the amount of tubes. The SA for High Speed Run sounds about right for the USS Maury which sort of makes her a close escort for Carriers as an appropriate SA as well since her speed was 42.8 knots; fastest USN destroyer.

High Speed Run? Fast 5? (I could go on a rant about this SA)
(torp line can be 2/2/2/- with defective torps, as with Bagley, which also has 16 tubes)
Honestly I don't like that a lot of Jap destroyers and cruisers get 3 dice in a lot of their torp rolls. The Long Lance SA more than compensates for that weapon's abilities, and they generally carried a similar number of torpedoe tubes to everyone else. Bagley easily should've gotten a 3/2/2/- line with that precedent.
