This month Liam leads us on an exploration of USS STEWART, the only other Destroyer Escort in America. Her rich history starts in the Revolutionary War (with her namesake) and continues through present day. STEWART is open as a museum ship at the Galveston Naval Museum in Galveston, Texas.
Follow along with our transcript and check out the photos on our website.
