| Monkey Mouse   |  Destroyer Ray headed for sinking in RimPac BREMERTON, Wash. — A Navy destroyer that had been mothballed at Bremerton for six years has been towed away. The David R. Ray will be used for target practice and sunk next week near Hawaii in the Rim of the Pacific war exercise. The exercise will involve ships, submarines and aircraft from 10 nations. The 31-year-old Ray had been based at Everett before it was decommissioned in 2002. State legislator Larry Seaquist, D-Gig Harbor, was the destroyer’s commanding officer from 1981 to 1983, when it operated for several months in the Persian Gulf and traveled to the South China Sea. He said the crew nicknamed the ship the “Malacca Marauder” for the straits it passed through. The Source
