I'm actually in development on a film about the original Samuel B. Roberts DE413. If you'd like to see what we're doing, google Battle Off Samar movie sometime. Or send me a message on here :) Rick

Decommissioned in 3 years? 2011 and still going strong!!! You can gain alot from a ship, But not knowing her history keeps you blinded of what she has to offer. And ask anyone on a carrier who they can always count on to lead the pack? and they'll say the FFG's. Theyre always closer to the battle then they are. The problem with the new navy is its crybabies, who cant handle the pressure and cry foul when things dont go there way. and dont understand or respect tradition!! NO HIGHER HONOR!!!

This ship was named after my Great Grandpa. Kind of cool to see it on Youtube.

The Roberts was not the only ship in history to survive a mine blast. During the first Gulf War (1991) the USS Princeton (CG-59) and the USS Tripoli (LPH-10) were both hit on the 34th day of the war, FEB 18. I had orders to the Princeton, but as it was in the yards for repairs, spent 4 yrs 8 months on the Roberts after GSM school.

My son is on there right now he is an E-5. A fireman and a snipe. He is on his way home from W. Africa. I had a chance to go on the ship last July. They allowed him to show me the ship, except certain areas. This is the 2nd ship he was on and let his parents take a tour. Really neat! Thank you for posting this.

considering you don't know me. I may not have won a Navy Cross, but I did advance from E-3 to E-5 in my 2 years on board as well as obtained my ESWS pin in my first 7 months on board. I'm not saying I'm Joe Navy but I was certainly a capable sailor. So again I say to you that the ship is a junker and should be decomed (and I'll gaurentee it will be in the next 3 years) soon. Have a fine Navy day! Btw... that's incredible that you traveled the world in the Navy! Why... that has to be a rare feat!

Whoa shipmate... resorting to insults (in caps no less lol) is not very noble or honorable. Maybe we can discuss this in a dignified and educated manor. First off all I was commenting on was the fact that the Ensign called it the "Corvette" of the Navy. That is a pretty big stretch. There is a reason the FFG's are in the process of being decomed, because they are they are largely ineffective in today's Naval combat environment. My comment was making light of the Ensigns blatent attempt at making

Your're wrong about her being the only ship ever. USS Ross (DD-563) survived after hitting two underwater mines. There are a few others but the ship that survived two seemed more note worthy.

To the IDIOT who only spent 2 years on the Sammy B. Apparently you know NOTHING of the ship. And the NAVY. The Roberts is the only ship in history ever to survive a mine blast. Due to its team of OUTSTANDING Sailors on board her. I served on her very proudly for 4 years. And traveled the world with her and was with her during Desert storm and desert shield. You know nothing of her or the navy! Your one of those that just didn't have what it takes to be apart of her!!!!!
