The Kidd has finally completed an almost 2-year long drydocking and restoration. Parks Stephenson shared the background picture this morning. It's now waiting in the shipyard until springtime for the Mississippi River to rise enough for the ship to make its way back to its home in Baton Rouge.
It's also very exciting for Kancolle fans, as Stephenson had reached out to Kancolle for collaboration ages ago and Kancolle seemed interested in return, which if true would be the first time Kancolle had ever done anything with anybody outside Japan. It's commonly believed that they've been waiting for the Kidd to reopen for this collab to go live, and especially after one of the two unknown girls in post #7036375 proved to be Richard P. Leary, it's also commonly believed that the second girl is Kidd.

Is she going to head down there under her own power or is she gonna be towed?

She'll be towed. Even if engineering was still in working order, there's no chance the river would ever be deep enough for them to run engines without sucking mud into the system.

I wonder what Johnny will think when she tours the crew bunk area. I've been there and uh... there are at least 175 bunks if you get my drift.
Um, she'll think it looks like a normal berthing space? You forget that stacking hammocks 4-5 high was standard on WW2-era ships. If anything, Johnston would be more surprised to tour an Iowa and see the coffin-style racks used in modern times.

I'm referring to all the placards of every single Fletcher-class ship and all of their fates.
