Buffalo Naval Park – Remembering the Military Contributions
January 12th, 2009
Naveen Marasinghe asked:
The Buffalo Navy Park and museum houses quite a lot of called back US Naval vessels. The list also includes the Cleveland-class cruiser USS Little Rock, the Fletcher-class destroyer USS, The Sullivans, and the submarine USS Croaker. All 3 are released to the general public for tours.
The structure of the Buffalo Naval and Servicemen’s Park started in 1977. The park was unfolded for public viewing from July 4, 1979. The Cleveland-class cruiser USS Little Rock and the Fletcher-class destroyer USS The Sullivans were unique displays when the museum was started. Later on the submarine USS Croaker was contributed. But in the year 1989 the Croaker was once again repaired and launched.
Apart from the ships, one can find an array of tiny vehicles, watercrafts, and craft on display. You can see a tiny X-Ron 1 Rotor cycle which is a one-man helicopter applied by the US Marine Corps in the recent fifties and early sixties. The park also contains an Army M41 Walker Bulldog tank which was used during the Korean War, a Marine M-84 Armored personnel carrier, a Huey flown in Vietnam, an Air Force F-101 Voodoo piloted by the Air National Guard’s 136th FIS, Niagara Falls ARS, a Trumpy-class Fast Patrol Craft, more normally branded as a Swift boat and which was used in Vietnam, a Navy FJ Fury (FJ-4) jet and a P-39 Airacobra constructed at Bell Aircraft in Buffalo which was used during the Second World War. The sweep and steering system of the underwater ship The USS Boston is also an exhibit here.
The park is situated near the HSBC stadium in downtown Buffalo. Visiting hours of the park changes based on season and the park is closed for public viewing from December to March. You can either stay at a nearby Buffalo hotel or head to a hotel downtown Buffalo offers.
