ntt rf init i|tp oI|n Paul 3lott 0 UNITED STATES SHIP USS JOHN PAUL JONES (DDG-32) is the second of the DDG- 31 Class of Guided Missile Destroyers. Originally commissioned in 1956 as DD-932, JOHN PAUL JONES was named in honor of Commodore John Paul Jones, the Founder of the American Nav ' . USS JOHNPAULJONES(DD-932),thesecondofthe FORREST SHERMAN (DD-931) Class of destroyers, was the fourth ship of the Fleet to be named in honor of John Paul Jones, and the first to bear his full name. She was built by the Bath Iron Works Corporation, Bath, Maine and was commissioned in the Boston Naval Shipyard on 5 April 1956. At that time, with the permission of the Secretary of the Navy, the Grand Union Flag, our first national flag, was hoisted again aboard an American Man-of-War, much as it was raised by the hands of John Paul Jones for the first time aboard t h e ALFRED on 3 December 1775. Shortly after commissioning in April 1956, JOHN PAUL JONES commenced a goodwill tour of European Nations. Upon completion of this cruise, the ship then returned to the Boston Naval Shipyard for a post - shakedown availability period. In early 1957, after departing from the shipyard, JOHN PAUL JONES joined the Sixth Fleet for the first time. JOHN PAUL JONES actually made five Mediterranean tours while home - ported in Newport, Rhode Island and an additional tour to the Mediterranean following the ship ' s transfer to her new homeport of Norfolk, Virginia in September 1964. During these tours, the ship participated in NATO exercises on three separate occasions and with the Royal Canadian Navy on one occasion. JOHN PAUL JONES Some highlights worth noting are: the ship ' s participation in three separate space program recovery operations, Operation UNITAS in which the ship made a goodwill tour of South America while circumnavigating that continent in Mid- 1960, her membership in the forces which formed the quarantine of Cuba in late 1962, and her selection as lead ship in a column of forty destroyers re- viewed by President Kennedy when the Atlantic Fleet paraded before him in April of 1962. JOHN PAUL JONES returned to Norfolk from her Sixth Fleet deployment on 6 November 1965 and commenced preparation for DDG conversion. She arrived in Philadelphia on 2 December 1965 and was deactiviated on 20 December for the 18 month conversion. JOHN PAUL JONES (DDG-32) was recommissioned on 23 September 1967. The ensuing months were a time of intensive testing and training as the ship prepared for and conducted a highly successful deployment to Southeast Asia, which commenced 26 October 1968 and terminated 19 April 1969. Upon returning from the Gulf of Tonkin, the ship participated in First Fleet Operations, including duty as a member of the 1969 Pacific Midshipmen Training Squadron. On 13 February 1970, JOHN PAUL JONES began her second deployment to Southeast Asia. She proved her versatility by serving both as an escort to several aircraft carriers on Yankee Station and by providing close gunfire support to our forces ashore. After successfully completing all as- signments given her in the Western Pacific, JOHN PAUL JONES visited Australia, New Zealand, and Pago Pago prior to her return to Long Beach, California on 29 August 1970.
