Default 6th Fleet Flagship

^AYE! thanks for that! My baby brother was a helmsman aboard her just prior to her decommissioning. '77-'79. Her sister ship, The USS LITTLE ROCK CL-92/CG-4 Cleveland Class Light Cruiseralso with 'flagship facilities' similar to the USS Oklahoma City is moored at the Buffalo Naval and Military Park. The poor Oklahoma was sunk as a training exercise off Guam: 1999.
