In 1984, the destroyer was brought to the Washington Navy Yard. She lies moored in the Anacostia River and serves as a distinctive attraction for visitors to the historic area, her former ASROC magazine converted to a display area and with some of her internal areas opened for visitors to tour. Some of the areas open for viewing include the machine repair shop, the crew berthing room, the ward room, the mess deck, the bridge and the combat information center (CIC).

She appeared briefly in the CBS drama NCIS, in the background during a scene in the episode "Newborn King," which aired 13 December 2011.

Famous quotes containing the word present:

    “When we leave our child in nursery school for the first time, it won’t be just our child’s feelings about separation that we will have to cope with, but our own feelings as well—from our present and from our past, parents are extra vulnerable to new tremors from old earthquakes.”
    —Fred Rogers (20th century)

    “Those who wander in the world avowedly and purposely in pursuit of happiness, who view every scene of present joy with an eye to what may succeed, certainly are more liable to disappointment, misfortune and unhappiness, than those who give up their fate to chance and take the goods and evils of fortune as they come, without making happiness their study, or misery their foresight.”
    —Frances Burney (1752–1840)

    “A man’s memory is bound to be a distortion of his past in accordance with his present interests, and the most faithful autobiography is likely to mirror less what a man was than what he has become.”
    —Fawn M. Brodie (1915–1981)
