Huell Howser Visiting USS Antietam

Huell Howser visits the USS Antietam (CG-54) in 1995. He visits the ship while it is in drydock and when it is underway. The Antietam fires its CWIS and 5 in gun. Sorry about the video quality, it's from a VHS tape from 1995.

Thanks for posting this! As an old Antietam Sailor (89-92) and proud Spokane Trophy winner I really appreciate remembering the ol' girl as she was. She'll be decommissioned this September in Hawaii...but I'm not crying, you're crying...

I was watching this the whole time thinking it was after my tenure. It's actually before my time.

10,000 tons? Or for an even better perspective that's 20MILLION pounds! OMG.
