Your's has done better than either of mine, especially considering it's a WW2 vintage. My first ship was a 50's/60's vintage, Coontx class, ex DLG, reclassified as William V Pratt (DDG-44) I served on her from '87-'89. Last I heard she was already scrapped. My second and last ship I had the pleasure of serving aboard from '89-'91. She was the only modern ship to carry the name America, was the aircraft carrier USS America (CV-66) She was also late50's/early60's vintage. Last I saw of her was a wreath floating on the water where they had sunk her for an artificial reef. What a sad end to these great old ships. Not that I'd go back in the Navy again with things being as political as they are nowdays, but I'd never take anything for the time I spent at sea on either one of these fine fighting ships.....
