As Rough As It May Seem,It's Still Steady As You Go...
BREMERTON, Wash. -- A Navy destroyer that had been mothballed at Bremerton for six years has been towed away.
The David R. Ray will be used for target practice and sunk next week near Hawaii in the Rim of the Pacific war exercise. The exercise will involve ships, submarines and aircraft from 10 nations.
The 31-year-old Ray had been based at Everett before it was decommissioned in 2002.
State Rep. Larry Seaquist of Gig Harbor was the destroyer's commanding officer from 1981-1983 when it operated several months in the Persian Gulf and traveled to the South China Sea. He says the crew nicknamed the ship the "Malacca Marauder" for the straits it passed through.
I personally think this not the best practice by any nation.This goes on with the Australian, Canadian Navies and others as shown in the videos.
