The Destroyer has been called the"Grayhound of the Sea." Those that served on them were called "Tincan Sailors." This is created in memory of my late Father CPO Vernon M. Mathews(1941-2013).
This project is for those who served on board the Farragut Class Destroyer U.S.S.Macdonough DLG-8/DDG-39 AKA Big Mac(1958-1992). Named for Commodore Thomas Macdonough JR (1783-1825).
