FAQ 1 - USS KIDD (DD-661) is now in ThomaSea shipyard in Houma, LA, undergoing repairs in drydock.
FAQ 2 - She's not leaving Baton Rouge permanently; this is just a visit for repairs.
FAQ 3 - KIDD will be away from Baton Rouge until Spring 2025 due to the 40-foot difference in the seasonal rise and fall of the Mississippi River annually.
FAQ 4 - We will be refurbishing the cradle while the river is down and the ship is away. There are no plans to "demolish the cradle."
FAQ 5 - The rudder was shaved to get her out of her cradle due to silt build-up on the riverbed. It did not "rot right off."
FAQ 6 - Drydock tours are still under discussion. Once a decision is reached, there will be an announcement.
FAQ 7 - No, you can not "bring the kids down to tour the ship in Houma." She is in a shipyard. That environment is not conducive to a safe touring environment. Hence, the reason drydock tours are still under discussion.
FAQ 8 - Videos and livestreams appear on our KZitem channel.
FAQ 9 - No, we are not restoring her engines. Yes, we know about other ships under power. They were acquired from different sources with different contracts.
