65th Anniversary This Year ...

There are 6 Fletchers still in existence. Kidd, The Sullivans, and Cassin Young in the states. John Rodgers, the only surviving round-bridge in Mexico. She is scheduled to become a museum in Alabama (as Ward can sneak her across the border..hehe). Of course, the one in Greece and Yarnall in Taiwan. Only Yarnall's fate is uncertain.

Wow, considering it was wartime and we just built'em to last for the duration of the conflict, it's amazing how many of these hunks of iron are still kicking.
