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.

I'm very surprised. Your post inspired me to do what I should have done in the first place, and I checked the web. Sure enough, Juneau LPD-10), is still in commission. The captain of the ship when I was aboard was only the second captain the ship ever had, so it was quite new at the time. It didn't seem that way then, but what did I know?
