Recommissioned US Navy ships

[James1978]

The Forest Sherman class consisted of 18 ships. The ones I've highlighted in RED below weren't stricken until 1990. They seem like the best candidates to have stayed in some form of mobilization reserve and preserved in T2Kverse. That's nine ships, plus a test ship conversion. Two more were stricken in 1988/1989.

The ships you listed work, except for Manly DD-940. She'd been stricken for almost 14 years and was likely in terrible material condition.

It's basically AH, so I see no reason not to say they were all at the Philadelphia Inactive Ship Maintenance Facility if that's what you wanted to do.

Thanks for the list!

Well lets see - so you have Manley (who was probably the hardest to restore if she had been laid up that long), Blandy and Bigelow as canon restored and still afloat in A Rock in Troubled Waters. Forrest Sherman and Edson in Philly in real life and possibly the two that got sunk in port.

Task Force 115 in canon had five weary destroyers, one of which was the Decatur, who was sunk in the battle with the Russian task force. One of the destroyers is sunk by a submarine, and per Troubled Waters two of the destroyers are sunk by subs so we can assume one of them is one of the destroyers put back into shape from Philly.

Decatur was a PACFLT ship so most likely she came from Forrest Shermans who where in storage on the West Coast or Hawaii and were put back into shape there as well.

Barry is definitely gone when Washington got nuked and Ingram and Parsons are gone in Sinkex long before the war.

I have Edwards as being on station at Kenya - was from notes that Frank Frey had posted on USN Task Force at Kenya and will be in the Kenya module I am working on that will include canon info from Frank Frey (at least as far as his notes go) on what USN ships were there

So that leaves three gone for sure without need for mention in the canon, five sunk in canon (between Satellite Down and Troubled Waters), four still afloat, and six that could be afloat or could be some of the other three destroyers mentioned in Satellite Down of which two were sunk in the fight with the Russian DD's and one was damaged by a sub but not at the final fight and possibly is sitting damaged at a West Coast base.

thanks again james
