Fiction
USS Mahan (DD-102) is a ship used in the Destroyermen series, written by Taylor Anderson. In the books, Mahan and her sister ship Walker are pursued by superior Japanese naval forces after the Battle of the Java Sea and seek refuge in a squall. The squall transports Walker and Mahan to an alternate earth, one where a different evolutionary path occurred. Anderson also uses other decommissioned ships in the series: USS Walker (DD-163), USS S-19 (SS-124), and the Japanese battlecruiser Amagi.
