I see you served on DDG-16.

I served on DDG-22, USS Benjamin Stoddert.

What a truly fine ship those old Adams-class DDGs were.

They cut the water like a knife. Fantail but 8ft above the water line. 1200psi steam plant and could kick it up to 35kts in a pinch.

Most beautiful ships the modern Navy ever produced.
