Changes to nameplates and anchors required[edit]

The list of name plates should include USS Tarawa (CV-40), Pillsbury (DE-133), Monssen (DD-798), Requisite (AM-109), and USCGC Yamacraw (WARC-333). All of these are visible in photos on the park's facebook page, plus google maps photos, and TripAdvisor photos. Additionally, none of the anchors belong to USS General A.P. Brewster. Only one of the propellers (https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=401710670641&set=pb.100064564369098.-2207520000.). That same photo album, from the park, shows one of the anchors is listed as being from USS Providence (CL-82) - that anchor should be added to the list alongside the already-mentioned Wasp and Decatur anchors. The other 10 anchors in the park are not attributed to any particular ship.

Of the propellers, only three remain on display (verified by personal visit last May) - the propeller from A.P. Brewster, and the two propellers marked for Independence-class light carriers & Cleveland-class light cruisers.

Note the park also contains the mast and SK-1 radar from USS Sprig (AM-384), and the 1.1" quadruple machine gun was previously mounted on USS Texas (BB-35) before being displayed in the Washington Navy Yard for decades, and eventually moved to Nebraska.

I hope this is helpful in updating this display list.
