Hi, I hope this is ok to post here.
I was doing a web search for the old destroyer that my dad served on, the USS Compton DD705, and stumbled upon this link:
U.S.S. Compton by J-mizzle - Google 3D Warehouse
It is for a Google Earth entry about a hulk in the San Francisco Bay area which is identified as the Compton, but according to the USS Compton Association the ship was broken up and scrapped in 1990. I thought that it would interesting to ask and see if anyone here on the board who lives in that area might know something about this wreckage and if it might be the remains of the Compton or if whoever put the link on Google Earth just didn't know what they were talking about.
Thanks in advance for any information!
Regards,
Brad
