Bill,
It looks alot like it did when I left in "77" how ever I did notice some changes like the aft fueling rig was changed and the King post for loading missles at sea is gone.
Why don't you put it here on this web site?

Why anyone would prefer NSD turkey to Hong Kong cuisine is anyone's guess. Cochrane was in HK for Tkanksgiving in '85 and again in '87. In '85 we got pierside. In '87 CINCPAC didn't want us caught by a typhoon in harbor. They ordered us out without time to gather the crew and we sailed out and into the typhoon. It took us four days to battle our way to Subic and a sorry sight we were. All our uprights were bent or swept away. Lifelines trailed in the water. Below decks was awash in vomit. The bow wave had sluiced across the sig' bridge to carry away ammo lockers. Fun!
