Would they name two ships the same. The kidd I was on was in the 90's the number was DDG 993. Have pictures saying uss kidd

Yes, there is another USS Kid by the classification DDG-93, however that one was built in 1978 and is currently in service for the Chinese Navy as of now. Fun fact, thus far there have been 3 USS Kidds, DD-661, DDG-993 and DDG-100.

I don't know but this ship been here for some years. I took my 3 yr old son here so he could enjoy African Americans who served.

Thank you for the information. Just move to Louisiana from Ohio and my father passed away in January. Saw the museum and wondered if they were one and the same

Well this is the real USS KIDD that was used in world war 2 , DD-661. I don't know anything about another one you can sail on.
