My Second Ship USS GRAPPLE ARS7
Alpha docks Pearl Harbor. When operating daily, we moored here, because it is located at the harbor entrance.
PORTSIDE
Part of the Movie "The Wackiest Ship in the Army" was filmed at this pier while we were moored here. The Movie company had rented an old wood yacht from a local.
