Saving the USS SLATER

This presentation shares the history of USS SLATER and why she was chosen to become the Destroyer Escort Historical Museum. Stories will be shared about the history of Destroyer Escorts, SLATER'S involvement in WWII, her service in the Greek Navy, and her restoration transforming her into a world class museum.

Presented by a SLATER volunteer, you will get a first-hand look at the hard work that goes into keeping the "Old Girl" afloat.
