Patrick,

None currently on the Naval Vessel Register
(http://www.nvr.navy.mil). This is the data on ex-DDG 37

USS DEWEY (DDG-37)
Status: Disposed of by Navy sale
since: 04/15/1994
Builder: BATH IRON WKS CORP
Keel Date: 08/10/1957
Commission Date: 12/07/1959

Decommission Date: 08/31/1990

The Historic Naval Ships Association
(http://www.maritime.org/hnsa-guide.htm) doesn’t list Dewey so I don’t
know her custodian.
