Forrest Sherman (DD-931) was the lead ship of her class of destroyer of the United States Navy which was commissioned on November 1955.
Forrest Sherman was decommissioned on 5 November 1982, stricken from the Naval Vessel Register on 27 July 1990 and sold for scrap to the Fore River Shipyard and Iron Works at Quincy, Massachusetts, on 11 December 1992. When the company went bankrupt, the ship was 'recovered' by the Navy and berthed in the Inactive Ship Facility at Philadelphia. She was eventually put on a list for donation for museum status. These plans fell through and the ship was removed from donation hold in 2011. Volunteers from other museum ships were allowed to remove useful parts/equipment in June 2011. The Forrest Sherman was finally sold for scrapping 15 December 2014, and was scrapped by the Defense Logistics Agency Disposition Services on 1 January 2016 |
