WWII destroyer returns to SC home after repairs

The World War II destroyer USS Laffey is towed down the Cooper River to the Patriots Point Naval and Maritime Museum in Mount Pleasant, S.C., on Wednesday, Jan. 25, 2012. The vessel had been moved more than two years ago to a dry dock so its hull could be repaired at a cost of about $9 million.
