I wish I had a dog. I live in an apartment and can't afford to feed one or the pet deposit.

Several ships of the class were active during Desert Storm: MacDonough, Preble, and William V. Pratt.

I am searching for photos especially of Preble in early 1991. There are some here, but most of them taken after her return to the US:
http://www.usspreble.org/pics1991.html

According to these photos she still hat the typical pre-war scheme: black upper masts and high viz numbers. Can this be true?

Was there any additional equipment added? Two 25 mm Bushmaster plus?
