I really liked your take on 'Drydocks'. The U.S. Navy does not have enough for most were divested after the Berlin Wall fell and the Navy shrank over 50%. There are very few U.S. Navy Floating Drydocks overseas anymore which used to accompany every Destroyer Tender . . . which no longer exist. The growing U.S. Navy fleet needs Surface Combatant Tenders and associated Drydocks more today and in the future than ever before to service our fleet of 70+ destroyers and soon to be Frigates. One can only hope they will be built and deployed soon for every Unified Combatant Commander needs them available to support their forces forward deployed TODAY!

Destroyers are incredibly capable ships, as are their sailors. They protect our carriers plus a whole bunch of other tough duties.. But as a former carrier sailor I have to say Destroyers are not massive. Battle ships were and carriers are. Having said that, I have the upmost respect for Tin Can sailors. They do an impressive job in protecting the fleet. I can't tell you how often we were cutting through heavy seas without much movement, only to see our Destroyers playing part time Submarine. Dry foods on those days.

I don't know your experience on US Naval vessels in today's current fleets, but most fleet sailors would not call a destroyer a "massive" ship. A nuke Carrier would be a "massive" ship.

Well, maybe I was the lucky one. I spent 2 yrs aboard an Ice Breaker (Uss Atka AGB 3)) and 2 yrs aboard a destroyer (Uss William C. Law DD763). Everything in the skit above is right on. Duty was not good in either one. Icebreaker life on the Barrett Sea is not fun. Made 2 trips to the North Pole and 1 trip to the South Pole. Both were quite an experience. Not something I would recommend for anyone. Learned a lot and saw a lot but life on an Ice Breaker is something much different. Powdered Eggs, Powdered Milk, Stale Vegetables, Cold and a bunch of other things. Only Morse Code for transmission. That should tell you all you need to know. Destroyer was overcrowded, and subject to uncomfortable rides in rough seas. Of course this all was in the 60's. Probably both are much better today. Go Navy.

My Dad was on the USS Selfridge (DD357) in the 1930s at 16 years old. It was his first ship in the 20 years he served and it steamed into Pearl Harbor on December 6th, 1941. They managed to get out of Pearl on the 7th when the Japs attacked and later on was torpedoed twice in the Solomon Islands Battle. They managed to limp back to San Diego for damage repair.

The Selfridge has some interesting history, and another ship in the Destroyer group at Pearl Harbor was another WWI Destroyer called the USS Ward DD 139, later became converted to an APD, you might be interested in its history since it's of a similar era and was at Pearl Harbor, but the Ward was the ship that took the first shots at a Japanese sub, right before the Pearl Harbor attack. My father served on the USS Lloyd apd 63 and he at the battle of Ormoc Bay where the USS Ward was sunk three years to the day after Pearl Harbor.

LOL. "MASSIVE" Destroyer??? We call them "Tin Cans". I served 25 years in the US NAVY, including 4 years on an Adams class destroyer. The whole fleet call destroyers "small boys" because they are so small. The important part is not how big they are, but how big their punch is. Destroyers are fast, highly maneuverable and packed with armament. ...and let's talk about survivability. Due to lots of tiny, watertight compartments, destroyers can take heavy damage and still fight back. I'm very proudly a "Tin Can" sailor.

Depends on the class. They're not massive compared to a carrier or Iowa class battleship, but they're nearly as big as a Ticonderoga class cruiser. They're pretty damn big. And seeing a boomer pull up next to one really makes you appreciate just how big the Ohio class subs are. They're a good 50 feet longer, iirc, and almost as wide. Ohio Class subs are 560 feet long with a 42 foot beam. Arleigh Burkes are 506 feet long, 47 foot beam.. It's not small. Older destroyers and destroyer escorts were much smaller, small even by today's frigate standard.

We'd enter a trough and the other ships disappeared in the mists as they rode the waves. It was a miracle, for me at least, that I didn't get seasick. I stayed on the bridge to ride things out. The ship was a real mess, especially in the passageways and in the mess hall (name was appropriate!).
