Last month I took a trip with my wife, and we stopped in Bremerton, Washington to look at the Turner Joy, a destroyer built in 1955. It is on display as a Viet Nam War memorial. Exploring below decks was quite interesting. A lot of machinery was squeezed into a limited amount of space, and the crew accommodations worked around the installed equipment. I suspect that this ship is not much different from the WWII destroyers.
In a small compartment was the "Machine Shop Tool Room." The major items there were a lathe, Buffalo No.18 drill press, and a Wilton vise. I don't know what brand or model the lathe is. I was not able to enter the room, so I just shot these photos with my phone from the doorway.
If there is a spot to post this that will expose it to a wider audience, please suggest it to me! At least the Buffalo guys can see an 18 that has survived.
