stripped of her super structure, missile house , turrets, and mounts in the Philly shipyard, the final grave yard for a battle
veteran cruiser .
After 30 some years about 30 of us veterans of Uss Springfield CLG-7 found each other and had our first reunion ,
it was like only yesterday we were all sailing the Med and hitting all those wonderful foreign ports of call. We will
attempt to remember those years and gain new adventures together in the coming years. Thanks for visiting this web site.
