USS Harold E. Holt
FF 1074 - The Last Duty

photo from USS Paul Foster DD-974

These pictures are difficult to put up. For those of us who served aboard a Destroyer type ship, it was more than a piece of "metal"; our ship was home - for several years.

The USS Paul Foster (DD-964) had the honor of testing its weapons systems on the hulk of ex-USS Harold E. Holt. These pictures are displayed in the memory of the ship, and her crew who sailed her for 20 years in the service of the United States.
