The Blarney Kid Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 On 8/14/2024 at 6:58 PM, Barry Sloe said: The ship appears to be a Spruance class destroyer. These ships had sea water compensated fuel storage tanks. Basically, as you used fuel from the storage tank, that fuel was replaced with sea water. Sea water is heavier than fuel so the ship sat LOWER in the water as you used up fuel. And they were very smooth. 20 foot seas were nothing. Fond memories. BS Not a Spruance, probably an Arleigh Burke destroyer or a Ticonderoga class cruiser. It has the Aegis radar system. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even those who took the risk of getting us out of the field of fire when they went above and beyond. A lot a readers here have had your help in some really bad places and at unbelievable times.
