she was a homeless shelter for 13 years. i think we all took up some type of a residency there ??it may be a good idea it may not be,
either way someone should get some quality use out of her.she just rusting away in pearl.  |

Let's face it folks, the ship really is just a collection of metal and paint with no job. If some family can find refuge in it, they too become part of its history and legacy. Better than becoming recycled steel, artificial reef or new weapon test sitting duck. |

As one of the sailors that spent years on the Acadia, 2 westpac (85 and 87)was part of the rebuilding of USS Stark, I would rather see her sank under a salvo of weapons fire or sunk as a reef than turning that grand old lady into something that she was never meant to be, a homeless shelter. She was my first love, she showed me sights i will never forget, met people who touched my life to this day. So I for one wish the navy bring her back to service or sink her, nothing more nothing less.

THIS SUBJECT PULLS THE HEART STRINGS IT HURTS TO SEE HER THE WAY SHE IS RIGHT NOW RUSTING A WAY NOT BEING USED & IT DOES SEEM DEGRADING TO USE HER AS A HOMELESS SHELTER BUT MAYBE SOME GOOD CAN COME OUT OF IT. THERE IS A LOT OF IFs IN THE PLANS & COST A LOT OF MONEY I DONT REALY SEEING IT HAPPENING..SHE WILL ALWAYS BE SOMTHING SPECIAL TO ME NO MATTER WHAT MM3 BOB WILLIAMS |

If it's all the same to you, I'd rather see her shot full of holes. I maybe one of the few who would happen to think that using the Acadia as a homeless shelter is demeaning and degrading. I think some of the crewmembers on board the USS Stark would think the same. |

SHE WAS THERE FOR THE USS STARK IN 87& IF THIS IS THE ONLY THING THEY CAN COME UP WITH THEN ITS BETTER THAN USING IT FOR TARGET PRACTICE OR SCRAPPING IT MORE POWER TO THEM FOR A GOOD USE BOB W. |

I was just on Foxnews.com and there was an article about turning the Acadia into a Homeless Shelter.
It would be a better fate than turning her into razor blades. |

looking through old tendergrams brought back so many memories. i can still feel myself in the offiv\cers galley and out on deck while being underway. The fondest memory, crossing the line and becoming a shellback. that was the greatest feat ever done. 92-94 were the best years of my life. I miss it everday. |

This is a message that Delsie Mariano sent into the site. Her email is dmariano@phs.org. I left the message just as she wrote it.
I was interested in getting in touch with someone on the Acadia 1990/1991, someone who knew Calvin R. Harrison DOB: 08/21/1968. I know he had lots of friends he served with in the Persian Gulf. I was with him and he talked often about the good times he had with his friends. I just thought maybe you could put a message on the board and let them know that he passed away on April 1, 2007. He died of unknown reasons in SLC, UT. You can post my email address, I would like to hear from someone about him or even maybe share some pictures on line. He had a cruisebook from 1990-91 but no pictures of him in it. |

RM2 on the decomm crew 93 to the end. Still active, get to see the ship every day on my way to work. She's a bit of a mess up close but still standing proud. Would love to hear from any of the RM's from the last cruise. Also looking for TM2 Leslie Guidry, have some news for her. |
