Among the Men O War in port

will be the U S S Sullivans DDG 68

The original U S S Sullivans  DD537
is moored in Buffalo Marine Park,
like the U S S Slater in Albany:

Our ship operated at sea with DD537

in the 1950's.

DDG 68 made port in Adrigole, Beara

Peninsula, ancestral home of the five

Sullivan brothers.

Thought of trying to get DDG 68 to

visit Albany. But, the ship's draft

exceeds the channel depth at the

Port of Albany.

Besides it is a long sea detail up

the Hudson and DDG would be

an sitting duck target for local
Al Qaida operatives.


Maybe, DDG 68 will send a
landing party upriver in a
whaleboat?
