Summary
| Description |
English: Damage to the former U.S. Navy Gearing-class destroyer USS Orleck (DD-886) from Hurricane Rita at Orange, Texas (USA), on 5 October 2005. After decommissioning Orleck was transferred to Turkey in 1987. On 12 August 2000, the Turkish government transferred the destroyer to the Southeast Texas War Memorial and Heritage Foundation at Orange, Texas, for use as a memorial and museum under her old name, USS Orleck. When Hurricane Rita stuck the Texas coast in September 2005, Orleck was severely damaged. After repairs, Orleck was ready to return to her pier at Ochiltree-Inman Park; however, the City of Orange refused to allow her to return. Orleck was temporarily relocated to Levingston Island. The Orleck Foundation then decided to move the ship to the Calcasieu River in Lake Charles, Louisiana. |
