A lot of countries made war equipment and machines to completely protect citizens. One example would be the USS Kinkaid, named after an admiral. It was on 1974 that this destroyer started, and then decommissioned in 2003 and sunk the next year. Roughly 25 construction workers were helped by such ship.
The saved workers who were constructing a naval base on 1979 were brought to the small island. It was then that the crews were awarded the medal for their exemplary humanitarian efforts to save people. 10 years later, the Kinkaid and another registered freighter involved on collision which tolls to one death and 15 casualties to the ship, causing a whopping 15 million US dollars in damages. She took port in Singapore and Philippines where she received temporary repairs, then went to San Diego for permanent treatment.
She also made visits to certain islands before she was given an assignment to become part of a Destroyer Squadron, conducting at least 2 months of regular operations under joint task force. It was in 1993 that she returned to San Diego. A lot happened to Kinkaid as part of a battle group to different seas. She even spent a lot of time in Western Pacific.
A group called as the Constellation carrier battle group in which she was involved took part in several exercises in designated areas in Japan region. Most services were created to improve the aviation operations, ground combat, support and such. The battle group performed different exercises with many countries and she made her seventh deployment and provide support by conducting an anti submarine warfare mission.
On June of 1995, Kinkaid underwent a long period of overhaul activity. Due to reorganization of both the groups and also the squadrons, she then reassigned to squadron 21. Around 1995, the reorganization was completely finished, with certain changes which are performed within another year. She was also invited to be part of joint force performed in Southern California which even involved some Japanese units.
On top of two more ships, Kinkaid provides support to the operations which involved intercepting maritime operations. She also escorted a ship of civilian merchant through simulations. From six month deployment to Persian Gulf, she returned on 1998 of February. She helped enforce many maritime activities and operations during deployment stage.
She completely saved a merchant ship and after seven long hours of battling ventilation and floods below decks, the rescue team returned the vessel to accurate degree, allowing it to effectively sail in Bahrain to receive the proper and adequate repairs. In addition with carrier ships, they provided humanitarian support. This created difference to people.
Such ship became part of the sea swap which is described as a kind of initiative which is used to test the efficiency of deploying a single ship for at least 18 months while you swap out crews at certain intervals. Of course, the crews experience many things. This also gives opportunity for the experts to study many things.
She was then decommissioned on January 2003. She got stricken on 2004 and sunk the same year during a specific exercise in the Pacific Ocean. Still, she was able to make a significant history in the maritime industry.
