USS Chandler (DD-206) - Fate

Fate

Chandler returned to the west coast for overhaul in April. While there, she was reclassified AG-108, on 5 June 1945, and after training, she began a tour of towing targets in gunnery exercises for new ships engaged in shakedown training. While performing this important task, she based on both San Diego and Pearl Harbor. After the end of hostilities, Chandler proceeded to Norfolk, Virginia, arriving on 21 October 1945. There she was decommissioned on 21 November 1945, and sold on 18 November 1946.

Famous quotes containing the word fate:

    I have, as when the sun doth light a storm,
    Buried this sigh in wrinkle of a smile;
    But sorrow that is couched in seeming gladness
    Is like that mirth fate turns to sudden sadness.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Professor Fate: My apologies. There’s a polar bear in our car.
    —Arthur Ross. Professor Fate (Jack Lemmon)

    The anvil of justice is planted firm, and fate who makes the sword does the forging in advance.
    Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)
