The USS Salem is a storied warship, and was at one time the most powerful vessel in the United States Navy’s vaunted arsenal. She was never given the opportunity to use her massive 8' automatic cannons in anger, but there was plenty of misery and death aboard the Salem. She sprung into action during the earthquake outbreak of 1953 in Greece and was the largest of the medical facilities ships sent to the region from around the world. Rumor has it, a thousand were treated over the 4 day stay…And some of those souls never left the Salem. They are still aboard, some looking for their lost loved ones.
