Mayo seen in late 1945 entering Charleston, SC for inactivation. Note the extremely dark gray paint.

No destroyer on this circuit has done this well
at Short Range and the ship should feel just pride in
the high percentage of hits made. |

Welcome
This website is dedicated to the memory of the Officers and
Men of the United States Destroyer MAYO.
|
Orlando "Ange" Angelini MMC,
Ange
served on Mayo during her entire 5 1/2 year naval
service. | Here we hope you will
find interesting information on the history of the crew and ship. As
a young boy, I grew up listening to stories of the Mayo DD422 from
my grandfather, Orlando Angelini MMC. Through these stories, the
Mayo was brought to life and the sacrifices our forefathers made as
young "kids" were apparent. By the time these "kids" returned home
in 1945, they were adults that had seen some of the most gruesome
fighting known to the world. Let us all remember what they did for
todays generation of Americans so that we can enjoy family, friends,
and life in general.
