Thanks for a great vid. I was aboard DD 886 from '70 - '73. I didn't take a lot of pics or vids and I wish I had done so. Al Erickson B DIV

@jryno25 You're welcome! Actually, I shot more footage than is shown in the video here. Remember the equator crossing? Also, I received some more movie footage of the ship from dry dock in Sasebo to Pearl Harbor. Let me know if you're interested.

One chance, no re-takes, not shaky at all.

Pretty good filming for that era. Thanks Again!
