Days Two and Three of the USS KIDD's transit to the Thoma-Sea shipyard in Houma, Louisiana.

The USS KIDD (DD-661) exited the Mississippi River in the early morning of May 1, 2024, entering the Gulf of Mexico. The motor vessel "Big Eddie" unfaced (detached) from the stern of the ship, leaving the motor vessel "Crosby Integrity" to solely tow the USS KIDD through the Gulf.

On May 2, 2024, the third day of the transit, the motor vessel "Crosby Carrier" met the USS KIDD at the entrance of the Houma Navigation Canal (HNC), facing up (attaching) to her stern while the motor vessel "Crosby Integrity" continued to lead the tow. During this time, the motor vessel "Big Eddie" was traveling back up the Mississippi River and through the Algiers Lock to assist in the mooring of the USS KIDD once she arrived at the Thoma-Sea shipyard.

The USS KIDD was moored adjacent to the drydock. She is now undergoing pier side renovations while awaiting her scheduled drydocking in August of 2024.

The tow operation was conducted by Crosby Tugs, LLC. The transit of the USS KIDD was made possible by the collaboration of the following companies: McKinney Salvage and Heavy Lift, Crosby Tugs, Budwine & Associates, T&T Salvage, Verret Shipyard, Historic Ships Preservation Consultants, Thoma-Sea, and Johnson Marine Services.

The support of our community, through their donations, will allow us to continue preserving the ship.
