For all of us who served aboard these ships - whether it's the USS Lockwood, USS Gray or any of the other Knox Frigates destined for the scrappers torch, these ships were more than the Boiler room, Radio Central or Aux-1; these ships were "Home." Many friends - and in some cases - lifelong friends were made. With the fall of the former Soviet Union, the end of the Cold War, the Knox class ships were, persuasively, easy candidates for an early end to their careers. The lucky ones found useful service in the Navies of Taiwan, Turkey, Greece and other allies. Some ships - including my former "Home" (USS Whipple) are still awaiting transfer to Mexico. Another [more noble] ending is the way the USS Badger met her end: as a Weapons target during "Rim-Pac 98." The most painful - for a sailor - is to see their former "Home" cut up into scrap. Such a waste; these ships were decommissioned with a lot of "Life" left in them. Be that as it may, the following pictures were submitted by BMCS John Reilly (USS Lockwood 1979 - 1988) and and BTCS James M. Knowlton. Senior Chief Knowlton hails from the USS Stein (1974-1978). He works for "VSECorp" and is involved in the scrapping of these fine ships. Every ship has a keel-laying, commissioning and some type of "End." Much thanks goes to Senior Chief Knowlton & John Reilly for providing the testimony to the "End" of USS Lockwood. Mark Roberts April 11, 2001 Photo 020 The End: ex-USS Lockwood being broken up.
