Short Takes: Unexpected Ships — USS Memphis

Another Unexpected Ships here on Short Takes!  Strolling about Nashville’s scenic Centennial Park can reveal the bronze scrollwork from the bow of the cruiser USS Memphis (CA 10), a ship that started life as USS Tennessee!  Join me for the story of USS Memphis—the USS Tennessee before the USS Tennessee!
