Hello David, My name is John Houghtaling and I was on the DLG(n)25 Bainbridge In 1967 and I just wanted to clarify that the DDG-96 Bainbridge is a different ship.
The DDG-96 is nonnuclear, it is conventionally fueled and came into service after the
DLG(n)25 was decommissioned.
Contact me if you wish to talk further.
Sterett separated in Treasure Island.
Welcome aboard shipmate, May you have Fair Winds and Following Seas!
