USS Kidd DD-661 finally in Drydock

USS Kidd is now in drydock for repair and restoration.

The last time the ship was in drydock was the 1960s.

FYI: the bottom portion of her rudder was cut off so she could clear her cradle in Baton Rouge. From the video, this rudder is not her WW2 era rudder, but a later 1950s mod which was bigger to improve turning.
They are debating to put a historical sized rudder on board.
