Standing Watch for the Spruance-Class
Preserving the artifacts, history, and legacy of the U.S. Navy’s Spruance-class destroyers—one ship, one story, one sailor at a time.
Why This Exists
All but one Spruance-class destroyer have been decommissioned and scrapped. With them, an entire chapter of naval history is at risk of being lost.
SpruCan exists to preserve what remains—artifacts, records, photographs, and the stories of the sailors who served aboard these ships.
