Q- Y SHIP' lllSTO Y USS FARRAGUT CDLG-65 was commissioned 10 December 1960 at Boston Naval Shipyard and proudly took her place in the United States Navy under the command of Cdr. Roger E. Spreen, USN. She was the fourth of our nation's ships to bear the name FARRAGUT in h01l0r of Admiral David Glasgow Farragut, famous for his achievements during the Civil War, and the first Admiral of the United stares Navy. The first Uss FARRAGUT frorpedo Boat 115 was launched in 1898 and Served with the fleet until 1919. The second USS FARRAGUT KDD-3007 WRS C0111111iSSi011ed in 1920 and operated with the Pacific Fleet Destroyer force through 1930. The third USS FARRAGUT CDD-3485 was the first of the two stack destroyers. Commissioned in 1934, she was berthed at Pearl Harbor when the Japanese attacked. Throughout the war in the Pacific she fought gallantly and by the end of the war had earned 14 battle stars in engagements such as the Battle of Coral Sea, the First Battle of Savo Island, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa. The fourth and present USS FARRAGUT KDLG-65 is one of the most powerful ships of the modem Navy. This class of guided missile frigate is designed to carry the modern and sensitive radar and sonar to detect the enemy as well as the most powerful anti-aircraft and anti-submarine missiles with which to destroy him. Following commissioning, FARRAGUT began shakedown training in the Caribbean, visiting ports including San Juan, Puerto Rico, Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Enroute northward, the ship visited Pensacola, Florida ftaking part in the 50th Anniversary of Naval Avia- tionbg New Orleans, Louisiana, and Mobile, Alabama, the scene of Admiral Farragut's most famous exploits during the Civil War. In Mobile, FARRAGUT was the special guest of the pageant cele- brating the 350th anniversary of Mobile's founding. Effective 1 July 1961, the ship's homeport was changed from Boston, Mass. to Mayport, Florida, and thus became the first guided missile frigate to be homeported there. In the Fall of 1961, FARRAGUT departed on her Shakedown Cruise to Northern Europe. Arriving in Portsmouth, England, on 30 November 1961 she began a rapid but very enjoyable tour of ports ending in Lisbon, Portugal, the first week of the New Year. Ports visited included Malmo and Stockholm, Sweden: Copenhagen, Denmark, Hamburg, Gennanyg and France. FARRAGUT's officers and men participated in many social affairs and athletic contests, acquiring many friends while implementing the President's People-to-People Program. Interspersed between port visits were extensive readiness exercises at sea testing all phases of FARRAGUT's complex detection and weapons systems. FARRAGUT deployed with the Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean during January and February 1962. A highlight of the deployment was a well received visit to Port Mahon, Menorca, the home of Admiral Farragut's father. On 3 March 1962, FARRAGUT arrived home in Mayport and became the flagship of Capt. A. F. Johnson, USN, Commander Destroyer Squadron EIGHT. April brought participation in the Seapower Demonstration. for President Kennedy, and saw the arrival of a new Commanding Officer, Cdr. Alama Herron, USN, who became FARRAGUT's second skipper on 21 April 1962. In May, a short operational cruise to San Juan, and St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, for missile firings and shore bombardment was climaxed by an exciting race to the splash- down area of Astronaut Scott Carpenter, America's second orbital space traveler. FARRAGUT enjoyed the honor of being the first surface ship to arrive at the scene. In Norfolk, in June of 1962 FARRAGUT welcomed 29 Naval Academy Midshipmen for their annual summer cruise. A highlight of the cruise, spaced between intensive anti-air and anti-submarine warfare exercises, was a Fourth of July visit to Wilmington, Delaware. On 3 August 1962, the ship sailed for the Mediterranean Sea on seven-month deployment with the United States SIXTH FLEET. A11 111190112111 Page of FARRAGUT's history during the deployment was recorded in October, when she was sent on a special cruise into the Black Sea. There FARRAGUT exercised the Navy's historic right of freedom to sail this land-locked sea, and visited two small Turkish ports, Eregli and Trabson. The major part of the deployment was spent in the day-to-day conduct of advanced fleet training exercises that keep our country's first line of defense at a peak of battle readiness. During the necessary maintenance, supply, and relaxation periods all hands were engaged as good will ambas- sadors in forging ties of friendship with the Mediterranean countries. Among the ports visited wereg Cannes and Myares, France, Rhodes and Athens, Greece: Naples was the site of FARRAGUTS second successive holiday season away from home. FARRAGUT finished out her deployment with an eagerly awaited return to Port Mahon, Menorca and arrived home in Mayport on 2 March 1963, for a welcomed leave period prior to readying the the ship for an interim shipyard availability period in May 1963 ' --:,:a:dm.:s2c.-1:39521--ii:iras- 2.2. ..'L.7.-.L,Q.f...f :srl ' Lg, . , . . - f . .-1.- .......,....,..,.,,..... ....,...,.-...s ,.......,..-. ..... at WW, My
