Second Suisun Bay Strip trip. August 2004.
In August 2004, Peter Papadakos led a team of West Coast Volunteers to strip the USN Cruisers HORNE, JOUETT, and STERETT to obtain equipment for the restoration of KENNEDY before the previously mentioned cruisers head to scrap this year. Items acquired included a Ice Cream Machine, light fixtures, speakers, switch boxes, and other highly needed items. Below are photos of the trip and those that attended.
