Often forgotten and overlooked compared to her sisters, USS Heermann would see a long and successful career. Not the most exciting, not the most adventurous, but successful nontheless.
However, as she did not go out in a blaze of glory off Samar, she is a relative unknown compared to Hoel and *especially* Johnston. That's a shame and if this video can help carry her story forward, just a little, that's a good thing in my book.
