The Comet is now going to All Star as well for $794,774. It is scheduled to come out of drydock at Mare Island on August 11th. The Meteor went in to Mare Island for cleaning on 29th July.
No word yet if Marine Metal are also backing out of the Cape Blanco as well.

Shame, I bet there's still a ton of good parts left on her.
The Joe P Kennedy crew came down and removed a lot of equipment from her. In particular a lot of the SPS-29 radar cabinets. (pictures from the DD-850 volunteers fb page)
It's about time. Ironically, a good friend and former Captain of the Hoga as the Oakland Fireboat, now lives in Missouri. Close enough to pay a visit which I know he will.
