Secundius Well the upUS Navy stopped using Lead Base Oaint in 1996, which would have made Cdr. Michael William Brannon, USN the first of the post 1996 Rust Navy Commanding Officers or Cdr. Charles Ferguson...

Blank_Deck How about for the period actually under discussion in the article? When that picture was taken. I'm guessing the ship didn't look like that when it came out of the builder's yard, so maybe that guy...

Blank_Deck All these years later, I'm curious--does anyone know where the then CO ended up? Retire at 3-star or something?

Just as you could read a lot into the name of the small British coaster, JOLLY NIGHTS.
Reminds me of the USS Brinkley Bass (DD-887). There was always some joker who would paint haze grey over the "B"s when they were touching up the hull. ;)
Some things are just lost in translation I guess.
At least it isn't named 'Yukon Uranus' :)
The World Shipping Register at http://e-ships.net/index/T7.shtml doesn't list this ship, nor the name it is supposed to have now (TITAN TAURUS). Shipspotting has a picture of a ship with the same IMO number in Hong Kong two years later (an interesting picture IMO) at http://www.shipspotting.com/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=324249. I can't tell if this is the same ship or whether IMO numbers can be reassigned. Looks like the same ship to me based on a superficial scan of the photographs.
I used to see a decimal point regularly painted in between the two digits of CURTS' hull number (FFG 38). Every ship has a nickname, of course - now, there wold be an interesting post!

Quote of the Day.. Maybe the Onion will pick up your funny...and make a 30 sec out of it!
Anyone remember the Belushi skit about the pirate ship, "The Raging Queen"?
Oh yeah... "A Manly Ship, with Manly Men!" =-O
Solves one problem, but still leaves Rum and the Lash.
HAHA
Good gravy...that ship has been rode hard and ain't NEVER put up wet! It's been a helluva long time since she's seen a dry dock for a shave and a hair cut (yardbird for blast and paint), for sure any anti-fouling she used to have got eat up by the barnacles! And FYI, the bow pic looks like one you'd see if she was in "dry lay-up", correct me if I'm wrong, Lee.
