Already decomissioned? It looks quite futuristic... V

How interesting that such a futuristic looking ship is now obsolete. Cool to see this. V

She did her job and now it's off to be scrapped.

Nicely composed Walter...very futuristic ship though

A nice farewell capture. Looks like a fairly young looking ship to be retired.

Nicely composed with the bridge in the background. I hope she has a good new home. V

that's a long tow for the tugboat crew...the navy has a base in Bremerton, and perhaps a naval museum too, so an understandable destination..
