About the Vessel
USS Kendall C. Campbell was a John C. Butler-class destroyer escort built during World War II. She took part in hunter-killer operations out of Hawaii and anti-submarine patrols in the area of the Marianas and Western Carolines.
Kendall C. Campbell was named in honor of Kendall Carl Campbell who was twice awarded the Navy Cross, once during the New Guinea campaign and again during the Battle of the Coral Sea.
The model maker’s father-in-law served on the Campbell during the war.
