Orca's ops team images the USS Hogan, a Wickes/Clemson class destroyer built in 1919. While in service she saw extensive combat action in the Atlantic and Pacific theaters during WWII including fighting off Kamikazes at Lingayen Gulf in the Philippines. She finished her war time career bombarding Iwo Jima. She was sunk in 1945, during naval gunnery and bombing tests near San Diego. The wreck lies in 125 feet of water.
