Description:

She came in today and started immediately bunkering and taking supplies. When she approached the breakwater she made 13.5 kn and Cristobal Control called her 2-3 times and told her to slow down. I thought already,,there we go again another US Navy commander looks soon for a new job. But then she passed into the breakwater, she doing 13 plus kn and then she went down to 5kn in less then half of the ships length

Good to know they're not wasted.

@MattyBoy. No, not necessarily, they might be re-used on a new vessel or even being re-used as corstal defence batteries. The latter especially with larger caliber guns from cruisers or capital ships.
May also be canibalized for spares.

When a vessel like this is decommissioned, what happens to her guns? Are they dismantled & broken up?
