Likely headed to see USS Little Rock and The Sullivans this weekend!

  Can't wait!  Some friends and I are going, provided we're all available.

 

 It'll be interesting to see these ships up close and personal after playing WOWS for all this time!  (and watching the video WG made on it)

 

 There's a sub- USS Croaker- and a riverine there, too.  As well as a bunch of aircraft (one of which was MADE in Buffalo, and stationed in Niagara Falls) and some tanks and APC's.

Hug the Little Rock for me?  Cleveland class is bae.

I've been planning to head out there with my dad sometime this summer for awhile now

I took my oldest son last year, it was great. There is also a small museum with a few aircraft and ship models close by. There where a few retired navy guys that greeted you as you boarded the Sullivans, which was nice. The Little Rock has had a lot of post WW2 upgrades, so it really doesn't look like an original Cleveland class CL anymore, but the DD is more like what you see in game. The Little Rock also has a lot of internal spaces that have been converted into museum like displays, with lots of cool large scale models.

Yeah- it looked that way to me on their website- it has only one 6" turret, and 2 5" left, but hey any old warship is a cool tour!  Apparently The Sullivans saw a LOT of action in the war- I wonder if it has any old battle scars?

I need to head that way at some point. My grandfather served on Oklahoma City, which was one of the three converted to Galveston Class missile cruisers. Of those, Little Rock is all that's left. Actually, the only Cleveland left at all, I think.

Woo hoo!  I'm originally from Buffalo. The whole downtown/waterfront area is great. Be sure to hit Chippewa street, Buffalo River works, and of course, the Anchor Bar for some wings...

I hope to get there some day. I was on 2 Talos ships (CG11 & 12), but never had the chance to look inside the missile house. I also would like the chance to see the AN/SPG 49 Control rooms. Any other Fts out there, please message me.

Spent 2 years on the Little Rock.
