Large Mosaic of the Rodgers.

BAM Cuitlahuac/USS John Rodgers (DD574) 27 July, 2006 Lazaro Cardenas Navy Base, Mexico

For you destroyer fans out there, here's a mosaic I made of the Rodgers at dockside. It's not perfect, I know. Sue me. I'm not paid to be a photographer...

If you snatch it for a website, link and credit, please.

"It's not perfect, I know. Sue me." What's wrong with it? Looks pretty good to me, and I'm fairly picky about this sort of thing.

I searched, and only found one join area, and that was cleaned up really well. I'd say you did an awesome job, John!! What a great image and reminder for you :-)

Good job John! My Dad loves this stuff, he was a TinCan Sailor in Korea. I've been printing out some of this stuff for him...my Mum won't let the "Internets" in the house, lol.

The Fletchers, when seen in there close to original configuration, were the best looking of the Tin Can Fleet hands down. This is great. The only thing that would be better would be if she was returning under her own power.

Do you know if any Gearing Class Gray Ladies have\will be saved & restored as well?

Dwight - the USS Joseph P. Kennedy is in the hands of the fine folks at Battleship Cove, Massachusetts. We are bringing some stuff back for them (not a lot, admittedly, as there wasn't much to bring back that was moveable) from the Voegelgesang (the ship next to the Rodgers in the pictures). DE644 - I agree. When I think destroyer, it's a Fletcher in my mental image.

Thanks for your help John! I also got smarter with another Google Search, and found a 2nd restored Gearing - the USS Orleck at Orange, TX. Good Luck with the Rodgers' Project.
