MY BAD!!! I;m glad one of her class has been preserved.

Perhaps I should have chosen the Wisconsin as an example. Or any of hundreds that have been scrapped in the past.

I had a particular affinity for the Benjamin Stoddert. I believe the Adams Class DDG epitomized the DD platform.

Simply BEAUTIFUL. Long, low, fast. High bow, very low fantail. Sleek lines.
