A Visit to the USS Slater
Here's some sights and sounds from visits by our
computer campers
during our

The USS Slater is a Destroyer Escort that was built in 1943.
It was commissioned on
May 11, 1944 at the Tampa, Florida shipyard.
The USS Slater fought during World War II. It fought
first in the North Atlantic and then in the South Pacific.
In the South Pacific it served in the battles of Saipan and Okinawa.

On August 24, 2000, the Cyber Haus WWW Computer Campers toured the USS Slater.
We were able to see a lot more of the ship then we had before. We also found a
great effort by the staff and volunteers to get much of the ship in working
order, including the engines.
