WELCOME ABOARD . . . USS BUCHANAN KDDG-141 is the third destroyer named for Captain Franklin Buchanan, United States Navy, and Ranking Officer of the Confederate Navy. Captain Buchanan had a long and distinguished career, serving as the first Superintendent of the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland, and taking part in the negotiations, together with Commodore Matthew C. Perry in Japan, which eventually led to a treaty with Japan. A BUCHANAN's keel was laid on 23 April 1959 at Todd Shipyards Corporation, Seattle Division, Seattle, Washington. She was launched on 11 May 1960 spon- sored by Mrs. Charles Fisher, Great-granddaughter of Captain Buchanan. BUCHANAN was commissioned on 7 February 1962 at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. On June 11, 1966, BUCHANAN departed San Diego to begin her third de- ployment to WESTPAC. During this cruise, BUCHANAN served as flag ship for Commander, Destroyer Division ONE FIFTY TWO, Commander Destroyer Squadron FIFTEEN, and was particularly priviledged to so serve as flag ship for Commander, SEVENTH Fleet during his five day official visit to Bangkok, Thailand. In July, BUCHANAN joined the two previous ships named BUCHANAN by firing her guns at hostile targets. BUCHANAN was called upon to conduct Shore Bombardment against concentrations of Viet Cong troops along the coast of South Viet Nam. There is no doubt now that BUCHANAN has become well seasoned to steaming under war time conditions.
