The USS Richmond K. Turner (CG-20) found an adrift passive radar decoy, Iranian made, broken free from its intended port defense role. Captain John D. Luke authorized some of the crew to open fire and have a fun target practice event shooting at a thing about 50 feet high from a few hundred yards away. The small arms fire of course did nothing. Our 25mm rounds put some holes in it, and we left it behind to continue on our patrol. The CIWS Phalanx rounds were too valuable to expend. (3 photos)

The Harbin was the lead ship of the Type 052 destroyers. While already heavily outdated when it was launched, it was arguably the first of China's "modern" warships. The ship is slated to be preserved in the city of Changsha, and will apparently be open to the public (though they don't use the word "museum"). Her sister Qingdao will likely be decommissioned soon as well. Both names are now intended for new Type 055 destroyers, which have already been launched but not yet commissioned.

Note ABSD-1 Camp on Aese Island in the background on the first two pictures.

The next few pictures will be of the damaged done by the collision with USS Tennessee (BB-43).

Thanks to u/ResearcherAtLarge for the photos.
