On December 7, 1944, three years to the day of firing the first American shot in WWII, the USS Ward was patrolling Ormoc Bay, Leyte, and came under attack and struck by a single kamikaze. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/9749/uss_ward_dd-139_afire-523x640-384846.jpg USS Ward, after being hit by a kamikaze, on 7 December 1944. A direct hit to her hull caused fires that could not be contained, and the crew was ordered to abandon ship. The USS Ward was sunk by gunfire from the USS O’Brien, whose commanding officer, LT William Outerbridge, had been in command of the Ward during her action off Pearl Harbor three years earlier. |

Chemical shells were on stand-by during World War II, to be used in retaliation should the enemy employ chemical weapons first. Before the war, the Americans updated their 4.2-inch M1 mortar (107 mm) entering service in 1928 and which was inspired by the Mk I 4 inch (102 mm) British mortar. The new 'M2' model had a new reinforced structure and could fire shells reaching 4 km range with the addition of propellant charges on the tail. With a weight of 151 kg, it was divided into three parts: a base plate, a bipod and a smooth-bore tube. It could fire explosive shells (HE model M3 11.11 kg with 3.64 kg of TNT), smoke shells (WP model M2 11.57 kg) and chemical shells (model H M2 13 kg).
