Sorrow

When looking at Texas being worked on, I am saddened that not one of the numerous "4-stacker" destroyers remains.

The Clemson and Wickes classes were everywhere for a while.

Then there were none.

I've also noticed that there don't appear to be plans to make museums of anything newer than the Korean war.

I think there's an effort to save USS Halyburton, but that's all I can think of.

We didn't even save the first US carrier with an angled deck as part of her design.

    I've read that due to problems with several ships recently, the Navy now requires a 5 year business plan - and since hey started that requirement, not a single ship/ organization has passed their bar and been handed over.

    There is only a single DE from WWII and the only existing Pearl harbor survivor is a tugboat... ship preservation in the US has been very spotty and irregular, unfortunately.
