Scuttlebutt: Official Podcast of the National Museum of the Surface Navy

USS THE SULLIVANS And Hull Maintenance


Listen Later

The museum ship industry was saddened recently to see heartbreaking images of the Fletcher-class destroyer USS THE SULLIVANS (DD-537) with a starboard list so significant, her decks were awash almost to the ship's centerline. 

No armchair quarterbacking here. For this episode we assembled a panel of professional mariners to discuss the challenges of maintaining the hulls of these legacy vessels and potential ways of righting THE SULLIVANS.
