 Sailors, veterans, family members, and naval support activity Washington gathered in the Cold War Gallery of the Washington Navy Yard to bid farewell to display ship Barry in October 2015. After many months of planning and organizing, we gathered once again to watch as display ship Barry is transferred from the Washington Navy Yard to the Naval and Active Ship and Maintenance Facility, Philadelphia. The Barry was the third force Sherman class destroyer built and the fourth vessel to bear the name of the illustrious Revolutionary War naval hero Commodore John Barry. The ship was commissioned September 7, 1956 and served both the Atlantic and Pacific Fleet. The Barry was decommissioned November 5, 1982 after 26 years of service. It began its career as the Washington Navy Yard display ship in 1983 where it was open for public tours, training, shipboard familiarization, and as a ceremonial platform.
