BELKNAP. BELKNAP is a frigate and an elite member of a new type of naval ship. Sleek, powerful and efficient, BELKNAP is. the first in her class and boasts a completely computerized Naval Tactical Data System in her Combat Information Center. Her missile battery and guns are capable of attacking air and surface targets, while her torpedoes are ready to meet any submarine threat. Named after Rear Admiral Eugene Belknap, USN 11832-19031 and his son Rear Admiral Reginald Rowan Belknap, USN 11871-19597, BELKNAP was commissioned on 7 November 1964 at the Boston Naval Shipyard. Since commissioning she has participated in a combined NATO operation off the coast of Norway in early autumn of 1966 and a Mediterranean Deployment during late 1966 and early 1967. In September 1967 BELKNAP commenced her first deployment to the Western Pacific. After her return from Vietnamese waters in April of 1968, BELKNAP participated in numerous operations and exercises. In May 1968 she took part in gunnery and anti-submarine exercises off the Bahama Islands and, amonthlater, assisted in a large amphibious operation in the Caribbean Sea. The remainder of 1968 through early April 1969 was spent pre- paring for and undergoing the ship's first major overhaul, which updated her weapons systems at a cost of 3.8 million dollars. In May BELKNAP proceeded to the Caribbean for post-repairs tests, including missile firing exercises and refresher training at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Having completed seven weeks of refresher training, BEL- KNAP returned to Norfolk in mid-July to make preparations for another extended deployment. The ship made a brief trip to Newport, Rhode Island in late July. In early Septem- ber she steamed to Annapolis, Maryland to provide special indoctrination tours for the new Plebe Class of Midshipmen. BELKNAP departed Norfolk, Virginia on 23 October 1969, and proceeded to the Western Pacific for service with the S .... eventh Fleet. The rest of her history is told in the pictures within these pages
