Where is the USS Coontz?

From time to time we are contacted by former shipmates asking where they can see the USS Coontz today.  Unfortunately, the ship was scrapped following decommissioning.  Although a few bits and pieces of her remain in private collections, the bulk of the ship was cannabilized and dismantled by Metro Machine (coincidentally, former Coontz commanding officer J.P. Reason works for the company).  Metro Machine completed the scrapping of the USS Coontz on March 26, 2003 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  The scrap metal was then sold to Camden Iron and Metal in Camden, New Jersey.
