SUISUN BAY - AUGUST 2004

SUISUN BAY - AUGUST 2004 Acting as lead Volunteer for the West Coast restoration team for the destroyer, USS JOSEPH P. KENNEDY JR (DD-850), Mr. Peter P. Papadakos lead a team of volunteers from August 9-13 to remove passageway lights, brass covers, growlers, sound powered phones and other remaining common items on the cruisers, JOUETT, STERETT and HORNE. It is sad news to know that Horne is some 2 miles below the surface of the ocean now, but if it's any consolation, bits and pieces of Horne now live on aboard the USS Joseph P. Kennedy at Battleship Cove. Mr. Papadakos took the following photos and sent me this note. "USS HORNE was really the only CG at SBRF where you could feel the crew's pride in their ship. The shiny brass and chrome spoke volumes to me." - Peter Papadakos Our thanks to Mr. Papadakos for taking the time to find us and deliver these photos. CLICK ON PHOTOS TO ENLARGE
