Was on 976. Good boat. INSURV the inspectors commented on our engines as we ran full power before decom. Said she should be good for 5-10 more years with some tlc. But not their decision. Sadly she was also a sink ex

Got to tour her when she ported in Monterey Bay- had to wait in line a second day just to see an active ship in person. When was that west coast tour- I recall it was 1998-2000 timeframe.
