VICTORY SHIP


  Larry on Cuba Victory.

Radio Officer's Cabin of American Victory.

Mark and I visited the American Victory in the Tampa harbor on the way home from the airport yesterday. 

American Victory
American Victory has been upgraded with modern VHF radio and radar (visible on the command deck), and more modern electronics have been added to the electricians' quarters and radio room, but she is generally in her historic form. Her 3-inch bow mounted deck gun is still in place, although demilitarized, as well as the 5-inch stern gun and another 3-inch gun next to it still in place. The mostly volunteer museum "crew" take pride in the fact that she is a fully operational, seaworthy vessel. She usually does about two cruises a year.
