Demize of the USS John Rodgers DD574

Walt Baranger from the New York Times called me this morning to inform me that our ship has been scrapped. The Mexican Government has kept a lid on the story for over a year but the reporting instinct of Walt uncovered the story.  You can read the story by going to the Times web.http://atwar.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/04/11/a-world-war-ii-destroyers-demise-in-mexico/

I truly hate to report this

  • Well now, ain't that just wonderful ( I say facetiously)! Well, it doesn't surprise me where the Mexicans are concerned! We all know how much they can be trusted!
