Absolutely heartbroken to learn of Sherry’s passing. HMCS Sackville and the museum ship community lost a real icon today. Sherry was everything you wanted from a leader and a friend. Fair winds and following seas.

Both are small, scrappy can-do-will-do ships whose crews form a fraternity built on the foundation of the absolute DISDAIN of any other type of sailor.

My hot navy take is subs and DDs are more alike than any other two classes of ships.

On another note, I watched Greyhound again for just the second time. First time since joining Kidd and actually reading The Good Shepherd and I have to say reading the book made me enjoy the movie much more than the first time.

My two cents: 1) While it sucks we’re losing her, remember she’s a replica and not an actual heritage ship 2) Multi-ship museums do not work. MMSD still has nine (NINE?!?!?!) ships and that’s with losing Surprise now and the Soviet Foxtrot sub B-39 back in 2022. That’s just too many goddamn ships.

Want an update on Kidd and if she’ll be back in Baton Rouge this year? Tim and I talked to Connor and Shane from Museum Ship Mafia about the state of the Mississippi River and what it means for her return. #NavalHistory #MuseumShips www.youtube.com/live/OBu-2Mf...

Torpedo tubes aboard USS HALFORD circa Fall 1943. The blast shield depicts a cartoon of a black dog in play position with a torpedo in its mouth like a bone.
