SS LE HY KCG-162 A PROUD TRADITIO LEAHY was constructed in Bath, Maine Iron Works and commissioned on August 4, 1962. After completing a Shakedown cruise, she reported to her first homeportg Charleston, South Carolina. The ship made two six- month cruises to the Mediterranean Sea during the next three years. LEAHY was decommissioned in February, 1967 at the Naval Shipyard in Philadelphia for a complete modernization package. The Naval Tactical Data Sys- tem QNTDSJ and associated radars were installed, giv- ing her the most up-to-date computerized weapons sys- tem in the fleet. The ship was recommissioned in May 1968 and reported in August to her new homeportg Norfolk, Virginia. Within the next six years, she made four more cruises to the Mediterranean. During this period, she underwent a major overhaul at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard. On May 12, 1975, shortly before her sixth Mediterra- nean cruise, LEAHY was the first U.S. warship to berth in Leningrad, Russia since the early 186C's and the first U.S. warship to visit the Soviet Union since World War II. In all, more than 12,300 Soviet visitors toured LEAHY during her five day visit. After completing her Mediterranean cruise in Octo- ber, LEAHY was transferred to the Pacific Fleet and her new homeport, San Diego, in January, 1976. After participating in various fleet exercises off the West Coast, LEAHY steamed to the Long Beach Naval Ship- yard in September 1976 to begin a year-long overhaul. During her 12 months in the yards, LEAHY received many improvements and modifications in her fire con- trol system, engineering plant, communications system and other areas, designed to assume her of being a viable class leader for another five years. LEAHY returned to San Diego in October, 1977. On July 6, 1978, she began her first Western Pacific Cruise as a member of the Naval Surface Force, Pacific Fleet CNAVSURFPACJ, a 180-ship force charged with pro- tecting our country's interests in the Pacific Ocean. LEAHY last departed San Diego on May 15, 1980 for her second Western Pacific Cruise, during which the ship was deployed in the Indian Ocean.
