X l I I H1 TQRYQF SSDEWEYKDLG-142 The present DEWEY CDLG-141 was built by Bath Iron Works, Bath Maine, as was her predecessor. Her Keel was laid on 10 August 1957 and she was christened on 30 November 1958 by the Honorable Katherine St. George, representative from the 28th Congressional District of New York. DE WEY was commissioned on 7 December 1959, the eighteenth anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. For the next ten years DE WE Y served as a unit of the U.S. Second, Sixth, and Seventh Fleets, visiting Northern Europe, the Mediterranean, Caribbean, and Asiatic areas, and took part in such noteworthy operations as the Cuban Quarantine and Vietnam conflict. In addition to the National Defense Medal DE WE Y displays a Vietnam Service Medal and Arm- ed Forces Expeditionary Medal from service during this period. A - In October, 1969, DEWEY entered the Philadelphia ,Naval Shipyard and was decom- missioned to undergo extensive 'Anti-Air warfare modernization. During the ensuing sixteen months she was equipped with the latest weapons control equipment available. Upon completion of moderniza- tion and recommissioning in March, 1971, DEWEY underwent an instensive five-month test program of this sophisticated equipment. After Weapons Systems qualification and completion of crew train- ing in squadron and fleet operations she was deployed in June, 1972, for service with the U.S. Seventh Fleet in the Gulf of Tonkin. H While in the Gulf of Tonkin DE WEY effectively participated in such activities as search and rescue missions, surveillance of foreign merchant shipping, vectoring fighter aircraft to enemy targets, monitor- ing the safety of friendly attack aircraft, and providing close-in defense and life guard service to various attack aircraft carriers. Deployment to the Western Pacific included DE WE Y'S participation in an allied tactical exercise in the Philippine Islands with ships from countries of the Southeast Asian Treaty Organization. DEWEY'S return route to the States included a stop in the Persian Gulf for an exer- cise with navies from the nations of the -Central Trea- ty Organization. .
