Actually no I was seeking another video and that came up the horne sucked burned up a bearing in a storm left us with 1 screw, had a couple fires, and one of the guys fell to his death when one of the small boats fell off the freaking ship and hit the pier. The officers were scared to come out on the weather decks at night but the best was I was after lookout, and twice they almost got me killed. Maybe you like the idiots playing with a 5 inch gun while your on the fantail

Such a sad end to such a fine ship. I miss the Belknap class...

It's always a sad thing, when any ship dies. She did her duty, and always brought her crew home safe. You can't ask any more from any vessel, great or humble. But somehow, this seems a more fitting end for a Warship, then to be hauled to the breakers, and reduced to scrap.

I served on the Horne for 3 years. I am suprised I was so sad to see her go. I recall being in the gulf, when the OOD decided to chase down a N. Viet gun boat and we were headed for coast line of N. Viet at flank speed. Captain Woods took over the con and turned Horne right hard rudder at flank speed. I wonder if anyone recalls that incident.

No matter how good the ship...seems like they all go this way. Sad to hear my first ship DaleDLG/CG19 met this fate in Jan. 2000. But...the Joseph Kennedy DD850 my second ship is a floating museum out of Battleship Cove Mass. But they need funds to keep it up.

hey megawarts. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say you've never served this GREATEST COUNTRY ON THE PLANET in any capacity. I'm guessing you voted for for this present 'Facist Regime' as well. The really sad thing is that there is hoards of 'public school indocrinated' fools out there who are willing to sell-out your freedoms for the cheap promises of self-serving frauds who make up the 'Ruling Class' of both parties. WAKE UP!

@levisnteeshirt to take one of these ships as a tourist attraction is a great idea until you discover that the city/state is responsible for all the costs invvolved but that the Navy has overall authority of the vessel but cannot, by law, be financially attached to the ship(s). I live in charleston sc, the home of the USS Yorktown, it is going to cost 100mil to restore/repair her. the Navy said get it done or sink her. they're not even close to raising that amount from private sources so...

The only problem with that is the incredible cost. Ask the guys who tried to make a USS Sterett (CG-31) Museum... literally Millions of dollars are required just to prep & move the ship. I heard 1 million for Insurance alone before a ship of this size can be towed. Not many cities want that kind of investment unless it's a world famous ship... like the Midway... Hornet... Missouri... etc... I'm aware of the interior condition.

OK, I have to know you. I was on Horne from 84-88. I'm glad she didn't get cut up! DS2 Denver Roberts
