S4:E13 Tour USS Laffey – “The Ship That Would Not Die”

WARNING: This video contains sights and sounds reminiscent of wartime.

“USS Laffey (DD-724) is an Allen M. Sumner-class destroyer, which was constructed during World War II, laid down and launched in 1943, and commissioned in February 1944. The ship earned the nickname “The Ship That Would Not Die” for her exploits during the D-Day invasion and the battle of Okinawa when she successfully withstood a determined assault by conventional bombers and the most unrelenting kamikaze air attack in history. Today, Laffey is a U.S. National Historic Landmark and is preserved as a museum ship at Patriots Point, outside Charleston, South Carolina.

Laffey was the second ship of the United States Navy to be named for Bartlett Laffey. Seaman Laffey was awarded the Medal of Honor for his stand against Confederate forces on 5 March 1864.”

▶︎ WHO WE ARE

We are the Nichters, and this is Our Crazy RV Life! We sold everything we could, and gave away the rest, just so we could live in a 28′ RV travel trailer with our dogs, Bailey and Taz.

You see, we had a dream. We wanted to be free of the “normal” expectations that most Americans have. You know, that so-called American dream of owning a beautiful home on a cul de sac, going on expensive vacations once a year, and otherwise living to work. We wanted to turn that into living in a home on wheels, being able to pick up and go whenever we wanted, and working to live life the way we want. This way, we can plan on Jeff retiring in just a couple of years instead of working until he can’t physically do it anymore.

Come along with us as we immerse ourselves in Our Crazy RV Life!
