Following the conflict, they were either sold to Allied nations, scrapped or preserved, with three, the USS Cassin Young (DD-793), Kidd and The Sullivans, preserved as museum ships in the United States. The Buffalo and Erie Naval & Military Park will spearhead restoration efforts for both vessels, with the promised government funds covering approximately half of the expected $21 million that’ll be required. While basic repair and restoration work will take place, such a repainting the ship, restoring the steward’s quarters and fixing the sewage system, an emphasis will be placed on mending damage to the hull, caused by the vessel sitting in its cradle, which keeps her in place in the Mississippi.
