I was aboard USS Juneau (LPD-10). I think that whole class has been scrapped by now.

The Vancouver was sold to a South American navy 1991. The Juneau (Sp?) was still commissioned and accompanied us to Kuwait during desert storm. I had a friend on that ship.

We couldn't make enough steam to make water or run the AC. Six months on shower hours and sleeping in a 96 degree room with 5 Marine company officers. Smelled like Paris but less snooty.
