USS CONSTELLATION DEPARTURE FROM BREMERTON

The Corbin Foss and the USS Constellation will now be departing from Bremerton on August 8, 2014 around 1:00pm for the first leg of the journey to Long Beach, California for fuel stop and U.S. Customs clearance from United States (last U.S. port).

Historic Final Voyage

In 2014, Foss escorted the USS Constellation aircraft carrier on her historic final voyage. The Kitty Hawk-class supercarrier, nicknamed “Connie” by her crew, was successfully towed by ocean tug Corbin Foss from Bremerton Naval Shipyard to Brownsville, Texas to be retired and scrapped. The 16,000-mile journey took 160 days, with Foss guiding the massive vessel along Mexico and Central and South America, passing through the Straits of Magellan before heading north to Texas.
