RIMPAC 08 호주 해군 신형 중어뢰에 격침당하는 표적함 USS David R. Ray (DD 971)

I was on the ray from 86 to 87. She was a hell of a ship.

I'm gonna miss you baby. (Griggs)

Yeah, I agree.... This wasn't the "death ray". The ship in this video doesn't appear to have the same superstructure. I could be wrong, but my brother served on the USS David R. Ray and I've seen many photos and a few videos and this ship doesn't appear to be the Ray.

Either way, its still sad to see her go. I was there also from 90-94. How's it going ex-Ray'ers?

[TedinLasVegas]

I have learned that this wasn't the Ray; it was the Fletcher. The Ray was sunk earlier this month by more than 500 5-in shells and 1 RGM-84 Harpoon missile fired by the USS Lake Erie.

Still sad, she was my first ship too (1991-1995).

[tommydangerx]

Yeah I agree.... It's sad to see any US Naval vessel go to the bottom....

[CanonMan1]

If that was indeed the Ray, that was my first ship, 1982-1984. Sad to see her go.

한방에 침몰이네...
