Howdy there, mates!In the rag "Sea Classics",Last month began the 100 year history , well, a highly condensed version anyway- of Destroyers. In the current issue is part 2, and amazingly enough, The Pearl Of The Pacific, Good Ship Cochrane is shown as a sample of the Adams Class. Doc Cooper, granted it is not as cool as your picking up the coffee table book at the grocery store, and opening the book to a centerfold of Cochrane, but I was pretty surprised. Pic taken in early 80's. Issue still on stands, if you need some additions to your Cochrane stuff stash! Yall be good and my best to all the families!

I read the article. They made a ton of technical errors, but it is always good seeing the old girl in print.
