Turner Joy The Turner Joy was a typical early Cold Warrior, in many ways. this was a fifties destroyer, designed to operate in a potentially nuclear environment, but neither powered by nuclear means, nor equipped with nuclear weapons. So by most standards, it was not a nuclear ship, and yet it was firmly set as a nuclear warrior. This was the last of the Forrest Sherman class destroyers, and had some experimental design features, mostly in the engineering spaces. Sadly, most did not work as hoped, and were never put into production. This ship served until 1982. |
