military items washing up shore near mayport, fla -local park has area "closed"
humm seems that the US Navy dumped some military stuff "overboard" offshore and that the recent
high tides and waves are "uncovering" the deed --so far nothing special --just old sillverware and a few zippos and a few navy type marlin spike / knive combo items & other oddbit items
the local newspaper was thinkiing it was WW2 era stuff and said that it was likely they would never know how it got there ---- boy their lame at research--in the story was a photo of 2 military type zippo lighter of the type sold in the ships store onboard many military vessels -- one in the story had "AD 27" YELLOWSTONE --that upon me researching a bit -- I found out she was not commisioned until Jan 16th, 1946 and was decommissioned on Sept 11th, 1974 --- and it seems that ON July 1st of 1970 her homeport was CHANGED FROM "mayport , florida" TO CHARLESTON, SC
the second one iis DD 860 Mc CAFFERY==COMMISIONED JULY 26th, 1945 ---decommissioed --SEPT 30th, 1973 .
since the Yellowstone left mayport as her home port on july 1st of 1970 * for charleston , SC and the Mc Caffery was decommiosioned on sept 30th ,1973 *the latest"common" date range IN MAYPORT would be say about July of 1970 .
just cross match when the two vessels were both at mayport . florida --since the trash contains both vessels lighters ,
