50 YEARS OF BUILT BY BATH IRON WORKS IN BATH MAINE, USS LEAHY IS THE FIRST OF HER CLASS OF NINE GUIDED MISSILE CRUISERS. THE REEL WAS LAID DEC 5, 1959, AND LEAHY WAS COMMISSIONED AUG 4, 1962 AT BOSTON NAVAL SHIPYARD. INI- TIALLY HOMEPORED IN THE ATLANTIC FLEET, LEAHY MADE SIX DEPLOYMENTS TO THE MEDI- TERRANEAN. ON HER LAST MED CRUISE LEAHY VISITED THE PORT OF LENINGRAD, USSR ON MAY 12, 1975, THE FIRST U.S. WARSHIP TO VISIT THE USSR SINCE THE EARLY 186O'S. IN 1976, LEAHY STEAMED THROUGH THE PANAMA CANAL TO HER NEW PACIFIC FLEET HOMEPORT OF SAN DIEGO CA. LEAHY COMPLETED HER FIRST PA- CIFIC DEPLOYMENT IN FEB 1979 AND HAS SINCE MADE EIGHT WEST PACIFIC DEPLOYMENTS. HER SEVENTH, IN MARCH 1991, WAS IN SUPPORT OF OPERATION DESERT STORM. LEAHY, IN 1991, WAS THE SENIOR HOST SHIP FOR THE SOVIET NAVY'S FIRST VISIT EVER TO THE U.S. WEST COAST. IN JULY 1992, LEAHY SERVED AS ANTI- AIR WARFARE COMMANDER FOR RIMPAC-92. DURING THIS EXERCISE LEAHY SUCCESSFULLY FIRED SM-2 AAW AND HARPOON ASUW MISSILES. LEAHY DEPARTED SAN DIEGO NOV 1992 FOR HER EIGHTH AND FINAL DEPLOYMENT. 4 CHRISTENIPIG B Y MRS. MICHAEL J.

The crossed missiles per- tain to the first double ended guided missile cruiser. The motto, Prompt and Ready, was selected as the most appropriate for the development of a ship's spirit and philosophy of being ready, par excellence, to perform every assigned mission. Pi: f
