I worked at Ingalls shipyard building the Spruance class destroyers, it might just be the picture but it looks like pretty shoddy work.

A small world, I was at NAVSEASYSCOM during the 70’s, in the 924 submarine directorate, and occasionally over in 944 (surface combatants), we dealt with refits and overhauls, although we all agreed those Spruance class destroyers were fine vessels, even though they got a bad initial rap because they didn’t “look” powerful enough. But they got the ASW job done and done well. Kudos to you!
