AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare and original metal nameplate from General Electric, Schenectady, New York, manufactured for the U.S. Navy in October 1942.
The plate lists among other things:
U.S. Navy – Bureau of Ships, General Electric, Schenectady, N.Y., U.S.A.
Date of Manufacture: OCT. 1942
Ship Number: DE-85, Turbine Number: 64362
Technical data of the turbine, including rotational speed and steam specifications.
DE-85 was an American Buckley-class Destroyer Escort and was later transferred to the Royal Navy as HMS Dakins (K550). The ship ran aground off the Belgian coast on a mine on 25 December 1944 and was ultimately considered lost. In 1947 the ship was sold in the Netherlands for scrapping.
The plate is a particularly tangible World War II object with a direct connection to a specific warship.
Many photos added so that the condition can be assessed properly.
Photos are part of the description.
The plate is very carefully packed, registered, and insured, shipped with a track and trace code.
See also my other lots and possibly save on shipping costs.
Will not be shipped to the United States.
