This is the captain. We are running down the target. Let us attend our duties well. This is what we've trained for.

Movie and television productions have long turned to the USS KIDD and its grounds to bring their stories to life. The Fletcher-class destroyer has appeared in Run Silent, Run Deep (1958), Battleship (2012), NCIS: New Orleans (2014), and Greyhound (2020). The Museum's P-40 Warhawk aircraft is featured in Tora! Tora! Tora! (1970), 1941 (1979), and Yukie (1998). The Museum building itself was seen in National Treasure: Edge of History (2022), and the A-7 aircraft and Memorial Plaza appear in Dirty Politics (2018).
