U.S.S. CONOLLY Museum

U.S.S. CONOLLY MUSEUM

I am said to say that we have given up on our efforts to acquire the U.S.S. CONOLLY as a museum due to our inability to raise the needed funds.

I would like to thank all of you who help us out.

A destroyer is a lovely ship, probably the nicest fighting ship of all.

Battleships are a little like steel cities or great factories of destruction.

Aircraft carriers are floating flying fields.

Even cruisers are big pieces of machinery, but a destroyer is all ship.

In the beautiful clean lines of her, in her speed and roughness, in her gallantry she is completely a ship in the old sense
