U.S.S.Sullivan Museum Buffalo 🐃 New York Sullivan Name after Sullivan Bothers Was inspiration Saving Private Ryan Now U.S.S.Sullivan Sinking Because Rust and old age Ship 🚢 Linking Trying Best Save her Sullivan Next to U.S.S.Litte Rock 🪨 Both Museums Try get Governor of New York state 🗽 help

Unfortunately the USS The Sullivans is in need of some major repairs. Years of wear on the hull resulted in holes and the ship began to seriously list at the moorings. The ship was pumped out and the hull was patched to upright the ship. A storm with high winds recently caused the Sullivans to list once again. The City of Buffalo is working on a plan to dry dock the USS The Sullivans for much needed repairs to the hull as well as new shaft seals. I wish KZread allowed response with pictures. I would have posted shots.

I love the way you did the gun boots.

You have a smooth modeling style and the content is great. Keep them coming. They are very enjoyable and insightful builds. Thanks for sharing Hammerhead!!

Your kit has a lot of PE parts. I am trying to find the kit to buy but most of the same kits don't appear to have PE parts. ???

Details make the model, you loaded them in. The weathering is subtle, great build for a 15 year vacation from ships. Looking forward to more.

Amazing work!! I have had the Tamiya version sitting on my shelf for over 10 years... You've inspired me to try!! Thank you

Brett.... I hope you see this message. Not sure how to send you comments or questions. I just watched your USS Sullivans video and was thouroghly impressed. My friends father was on a destroyer in WW2 (Fletcher class) and I wanted to surprise him with a model of his father's ship. His ship was the USS Terry. First question... Is there a way to get bow decals for the Terry? DD 513 was the ship's number. Not too hip on special order decals. Is there a site to go and order custom made decals? Also, there was a lot of PE in the Trumpeter kit you built. After market ordering? If so, where? Or did it come with the kit? I have the Sullivans kit in my Amazon cart and will order once I hear back from you. Thanks so much Brett for your great work and fantastic detail work. Have a good week.

That was a great build! I will be building the Tamiya 1:350 Fletcher as the USS Kidd DD-661!

I really love your attention to detail. I am planningvon trying to make mone as the fictional USS Keeling DD-548, callsign greyhound, as part of a diorama from the film Greyhound with a uboat. The film is quite good, with historical inaccuracies here and there but all round a action packed all out war movie

Pure Talent, my friend, I spent 5 years in the Navy back in the early 80s and to watch you work on US Navy ships brings back a lot of memories for me. Thank you

YOUR MODELS and your work on them are totally amazing, absolutely awesome

Great build and attention to detail! Simply beautiful! I love the weathering you applied and the floater nets, nice touch.

A beautiful rendition, congratulations for the kit

What a great Job, Really came on nice.

Beautiful work! Congratulations!

Coming late to this video! Well done...and great attention to detail. You have her in her September 1945 configuration. They brought back to the West Coast many Fletchers in July 1945 to refit for the kamikaze threat (and of course, we were planning on the war lasting until 1947.) Thankfully, she was never needed in this scheme of 5x Twin 40mm, 6x Twin 20mm, 1x Quintuple Torpedo Tube, 6x Depth Charge Projectors and 2x Depth Charge Racks. By 1952, the twin 40mms at the bridge were replaced with the hedgehogs, by 1954 the 40mms everywhere were replaced by three twin 3"50s, and Mt 53 5"38 was removed, and by 1962, the quintuple torpedo was replaced by the triple Mt 32 ASW tubes port and starboard. Thanks for embedding us in your description! Well done again. Please respond if you ever want to know about her different configurations, if you'd like to make a 1943 model, or a 1962 model! Stay well!
