I saw this ship as it was going through the Panama Canal (Pacific to Caribbean) on its last in-service voyage. I was a crew member on the USS Observation Island (EAG-154 in those days) transiting the Canal to the Pacific for missile testing near Johnston Island.
The Savannah was in pretty fine shape, all gleaming white, with a few passengers lounging by the small swimming pool. Seems like there was a plastic model (Revell?) back in the 60s-70s.

Google just found this 1990s photo of it in drydock, with an interesting navy grey cargo ship in adjacent drydock.

On board NS Savannah is a, I believe , a builders model of SAVANNAH, witch its cut open at the engineering and reactor room. Would be nice to have more Hi-Resolution close up photographs of the model, until now I only have seen one photograph of this model !
By the way, the above address, the hnsa.org site, I already discovered, but many thanks for mentioning !! |
