In 1984, the destroyer was brought to the Washington Navy Yard. She lies moored in the Anacostia River and serves as a distinctive attraction for visitors to the historic area, her former ASROC magazine converted to a display area and with some of her internal areas opened for visitors to tour. Some of the areas open for viewing include the machine repair shop, the crew berthing room, the ward room, the mess deck, the bridge and the combat information center (CIC).

She appeared briefly in the CBS drama NCIS, in the background during a scene in the episode "Newborn King," which aired 13 December 2011.

Famous quotes containing the word present:

    “The instant field of the present is at all times what I call the ‘pure’ experience. It is only virtually or potentially either object or subject as yet.”
    —William James (1842–1910)

    “We look at the present through a rear-view mirror. We march backwards into the future. Suburbia lives imaginatively in Bonanza-land.”
    —Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)

    “There is something tragic about the enormous number of young men there are in England at the present moment who start life with perfect profiles, and end by adopting some useful profession.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
