USS Kidd

An annual event for Baton Rouge is the staged bombing of the USS Kidd. The bombing gives the locals an extremely small taste of some of the fighting that went on during World War II. I really enjoyed watching it.

It began with a fly-by of three F-15 fighter jets.




And then came the enemy planes.

They circled around and came back a number of times.

They even hit the boat.

We could feel some of the impact of the shots and cannons that were fired from where we were standing.




It was pretty cool to see this!
