USS GEORGE A. JOHNSON was a WWII Destroyer Escort that survived kamikaze attacks, a training ship in the 12th Naval District throughout most of the 1950’s, the object of a short-lived property dispute that made national news, as well as an engineering first for the crew that scrapped her on a beach. Tune in this month to DE Classified to hear the story of the DE who made her last stand on the beaches of Pacifica.
