BUFFALO, NY (WKBW) — There was a big birthday bash along Buffalo's waterfront this weekend.
Saturday marked 80 years since the commissioning of USS Little Rock.
A ceremony took place at the Buffalo and Erie County Naval & Military Park, featuring remarks and a birthday cake to mark the occasion, and to honor all who have served on board.
The USS Little Rock was a Cold War flagship, sailing from the Arctic to South America, and was a fixture in the Mediterranean Sea.
A special 80th anniversary commemorative flag was given to the first 200 visitors to the Naval Park.
The USS Little Rock arrived in Buffalo for display back in 1977.
