Crew of Mayo on Sept. 14, 1942 at Brooklyn Navy Yard
|
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.
--Richard Angelini
