USS Des Moines on death row. If you look around there are the remains of Spruance and Perry class ships nearby.

I'd much prefer 29°45'22.19"N 95° 5'22.87"W

Not quite as sad.

Look here: 36°57'27.18"N, 76°19'46.29"W

Try 39°55'6.28"N, 75° 8'11.50"W, from it is also visible 39°56'22.16"N, 75° 7'59.14"W, 39°56'36.73"N, 75° 8'27.65"W.

An related item of interest is at 38° 4'4.41"N, 122° 5'53.01"W. Her sister is at 21°21'43.19"N, 157°57'13.38"W.

I'm surprised no one's hit 47°33'9.05"N 122°39'16.30"W, but maybe that's too obvious.

I downloaded, and have spent a couple of hours running around looking at all my childhood haunts in Okinawa, Kincheloe AFB in Mich. Hampton, Ohio, Florida, Wisconsin and many other places I have lived or visited!

quite a bit of fun!

Worth the massive effort Kenny, even for a Wooster U student!

(We can't all grajuate from a big tyme kollege like UW SUperior!)

for your information, it is THE College of Wooster.


As a side note, i used to have google earth. Got rid of it because after a while i didn't use it, so it was a waste of space. plus my area hasn't been updated since they made it, so everything is all blurry and stuff.

I believe they are Knox and Leahy/Belknap class. Only three Perrys have been scrapped (Aubrey Fitch, OH Perry, and Stark) all at Metro Machine in Philly. I believe Metro Machine is now bankrupt.
