The first ship with the large black exposed is Thomaston class LSD. I served on one of those for 3 and a half years.Really grew up on the USS Plymouth Rock.

The USS Iowa is no longer there. Her new home is San Pedro, CA.

I REALLY appreciate this vid and a big thanks to you for posting it! I saw USS Sperry, AS-12, a submarine tender that I was on 1976-1980. First time in 31 years that I saw the Sperry in such detail. It's the one with the Fulton bow and 2 giant cranes on either side of the ship.

Thanks for checking out my video. I understand how you feel about these ships. Hopefully the video might help in the effort to turn the USS iowa into a museum housed here in the Bay Area. Thank you for taking the time to write a comment. Wayne Fogle

Thank you for a glimpse, perhaps the last glimpse of some fine old war horses.

I saw my Navy ship transfered from the James River ghost fleet by tugs and go on her way to the scrappers. Such a sad thing to see them go.
