Harpoon Q Cruise Missile l Harpoon is the most Widely employed cruise missile system in the Navy, being found on almost every type of combatant ship and subma- rine in the fleet. Its low-altitude flight profile allows it to fly below air- search radars and to go undetected until it has detected its target. ItS ease of operation makes it a vital anti-ship weapon. LAMPS -g if-A. 4 F Q lf ., . A HJ ,,f' A DOWN Mark III ANISQR-19 Towed Array Sonar The Lamps Mark III SH-60B Helicopter is the Navy's most modern shipboard helicopter. Its ship-air system is capable of executing Anti- Submarine Warfare, Anti-Ship, Surveillance and Targeting, Logistics, and Search and Rescue missions. Using onboard acoustic, magnetic, radar and electronic surveillance sensors, the SH-60B extends the ship's eyes and ears to several hundred miles. The CHANCELLORSVILLE can support two SH-60Bs allowing continuous operations on a long-term basis beyond the ship's horizon. The SQR-19 Tactical Towed Arrayed Sonar CTACTASD is a passive towed-array system which provides the ability to detect, classify, and track a large number of contacts at increased ranges. SQR-19 is a component sensor of the ANISQQ-89BCVJ3 Anti-Submarine Combat System found on CHANCELLORSVILLE. The SQR-19 provides signifi- cant improvements in passive detection and localization, searching over 360-degrees at tactical ship speeds. Processing of complex SQR-19 data is performed by the largest real-time computerlprogram assembly ever developed for surface ship ASW.

A Personal Note From Our Captain 4 November 1989 Pascagoula, Miss. Dear Friends, Thank you for joining us today as We celebrate the coming to life of USS CHANCELLORSVILLE. Three years in construction, the ship represents the craftsmanship of thousands and thousands of Americans working diligently across this nation to provide the millions of component parts of which she is comprised. Even after a year of observing the building process, I am in awe of American industry's technological and productive capability. We extend special thanks to the men and women of Ingalls Shipbuilding who fused these millions of components into this great ship. To Al Storey, Mike Mitchell and Bob Roberts, our General Ship Superintendents, and to all their craftsmen, I pledge we will maintain your ship with the same care and pride with which you built her so well. To Sherry Martin, our wonderful ship's sponsor, and to the people of Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania and Stafford Counties Virginia, who have adopted this ship as their own, I extend my deep appreciation for all your efforts in our behalf. We will strive to be Worthy representatives of all of you as we sail throughout the world. To my magnificient crew and families, I offer my thanks for the many sacrifices you have made and the lengthy separations endured in bringing this ship to life. The continued support of our wives, children and parents is a source of great strength to all of us who sail in CHANCELLORSVILLE. were Gordon H. Rheinstrom Captain, U.S. Navy
