Charles F Adams (DDG-2)

[280plus]

Watch the pix as they scroll by, you'll get a glimpse of what she looked like in '02 in the Philly shipyards where she's still berthed. Apparently nothing has been done since the pic so she can't be looking much better.

Please read the "Flash Message" on the page.

There's a special call for those who understand the hotel services aspect of the Adams Class. Especially R and E division people.

Anybody that can use a needle gun and swing a paintbrush would be more than welcome too, I would think...

That's one rough-looking tin can. 

Has the Navy stricken her from the roster yet?

I don't know, she's listed as "Museum Hold". Yea, I don't see how the thing still floats. We're supposed to put her in drydock to get a looksee at the underside. Should be interesting. This is cool though, after all these years I get to go back and wrench on one of these again. I feel like a kid in a candy shop, now anyways. Ask me again after we start work.

I think we need to rename it.
How about
The SS Tetnius shot.

Oh, I'm sure the guys who sailed it have an appropriate "pet" name for it.  I wonder what it was... 

Ours was the Buchanan, we called it "The Puke".
