Benham — U.S.A. Premium Tier IX Destroyer.

Benham-class ships repeated the design of their predecessors while featuring more powerful machinery to achieve higher speed. The ships were armed with four torpedo launchers mounted along their sides, and the number of their guns was reduced from five to four. During the attack on Pearl Harbor, USS Benham was escorting aircraft carrier Enterprise to Midway. The destroyer participated in the Doolittle Raid, the Battle of Midway, and the second Battle of the Solomon Islands. On November 15, 1942, during the Battle of Guadalcanal, Benham took a torpedo hit, was abandoned by her crew, and eventually sank.
