USS SLATER is a preserved CANNON Class destroyer escort that has been restored to her June 1945 configuration in Albany New York. We publish a monthly electronic newsletter, SLATER SIGNALS. The entire index is here:

We also have an active Facebook page where we do daily updates here:

Finally, we also do a print quarterly that features historical articles that isn't available online. A sample issue is here:

The associated monthly electronic newsletter; Facebook pages; and printed quarterly are a great reflection of the overall enterprise and equally worthy of a mention.
