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)

Builder: BATH IRON WKS CORP
Keel Date: 08/10/1957

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