I have reached out to several individuals re the possibility of acquiring some of the original teak decking that rode with the USS Alabama from her commissioning until now... with the British Home Fleet in '42-'43, and the Pacific Fleet in ''44-'45. I've been met with crickets. However, I am not losing hope in light of some comments made by a local news outlet today (see link). I'll stay abreast of this and will fill in fellow boardies as updates become available. I'm committed to snagging some of the decking for interested collectors!
