CREW ROSTER
Here is the crew roster page.(NEW)**
This site was created for the sailors, family and friends
of the USS SCOTT, a guided missile destroyer homeported
in Norfolk VA, and later in Mayport, FL. She was one of
four KIDD class destroyers. Originally built for the shah
of Iran, this ship and it's sisters, were like no other
ships in the US Navy.

About
this site
The reason for this site is simple. My son was asking
questions about my time aboard the SCOTT, and I assumed
that I could find lots of information and pictures of
the ship online. To my surprise, there was very little
information and few photos, most of which were of poor
quality. I hope to gather input from former Scott sailors
to use as content for this site. If you have anything
worth posting, contact me at:
webmaster@uss-scott.com
I'll do my best to keep this site alive for as long as possible.
