Oh, the USS Estocin is now a Turkish boat. I remember when I visited her in San Francisco. My photos of a Perry class fast frigate were of her. Im surprised shes now called a destroyer, but maybe shes that in the eyes of the Turks. Nice photo of these vessels. Keep up the good work! Smiley! Something weird has happened to my computer keyboard / dratted machines!
