Colmurph,

Mount 31 along with a lot of other items was stripped from her when she was decommed and towed to the Intrepid. They even swiped her steering wheel. While she was at the intrepid, they temporarily installed a 3 incher on her, but it was the wrong model and painted gray. Our gun was black. I was a little more than familiar with Mount 31 since i was the hotshellman when I was on board her.

When the Intrepid people handed her to the Hudson River Park Trust, they took off the makeshift gun that they had installed.

It is our intent to track down where the original gun went and possibly try to get it back.
