Destroyer Escort Historical Museum/ USS Slater
Posted October 22, 2008 by Ima Local
The USS Slater transforms young and old alike with a history lesson that makes everyone a proud sailor. The USS Slater defended naval task forces from Japanese submarines and Kamikaze air attacks. She has just been through a ten-year restoration that has returned the ship to her former glory. The ship is open to the public from April through November with hour-long guided tours and youth group overnight camping. This destination is perfect for kids and the entire family. There is also an on board museum and a gift shop. Visit this ship and get the chance to see what life was like for the sailors aboard this Cannon Class destroyer escort in Albany, N.Y.
USS Slater DE-766, Albany, NY 12201-1926
