Description
USS CASSIN YOUNG still looking fit and trim.
The USS CASSIN YOUNG (DD-793) is a US Navy Fletcher-class destroyer whose namesake was awarded the Medal of Honor for heroism at the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and was subsequently killed at the Battle of the Solomons in 1942. Commissioned in 1943 the ship served during World War II and the Korean War, and put in long-term storage in 1960. In 1974, the ship was permanently loaned to the National Park Service as a floating memorial berthed at Boston Navy Yard. This image was taken in January 2011, during a dry-dock availability. I titled this image "Ready for Sea", the motto of the US Navy Supply Corps, reflecting my own Navy heritage, and because the ship looks like she's ready to fight alongside her more modern counterparts.
