James River Strip Ship II
USS Orion AS-18, USS Howard W. Gilmore AS-16
General Nelson M. Walker AP-125
March 22-23, 2000
The crane barge backs away from Orion with our load of parts on the forward deck.
After the crane barge picked up Doc, Mike, Matt and Gilbert, it took us over to the nest where the Walker was located. On the way, we passed several ships, including USS Kittiwake ASR-13. Once we made it to the Walker, Matt lost no time finding a safe on board! Unfortunately, there was nothing in it, but he didn't give up!!
USS Canopus was right next to the Walker. This is an image of her missile storage tubes.
