The crest portrays the figure of Talos, ivho, in Greek mythology, was ' ' the last man of the ancient bronze race, a creature made of bronze . . . terrible to behold . . . who threatened to crush ships with ... a pointed crag if they drew nearer. ' ' Terrible to behold . . . Indeed no hollow slogan, for the principal armament of the LITTLE ROCK, the Talos missile, is the Navy ' s newest and deadliest surface-to-air weapon. Talos is the end product of years of research con- ducted by the Navy and the Applied Physics Lab of John Hopkins University. Fired from the launcher on the fantail of LITTLE ROCK, the Talos missiles are directed to their tar- gets by means of a two-stage guidance system. The 3,000 pound missile is steered to the target vicinity by means of a beam-riding system operated from the ship. When the missile nears its target, control is automatically transferred to a homing device which guides the high explosive warhead pointblank into the attacking aircraft. The 30-foot Talos is powered by a 40,000 horse- power ram- jet engine, propelling it to speeds greater than 800 miles-per-hour. LITTLE ROCK has been awarded the Efficiency E for her missile firing performance ; proof of her ability to accomplish her mission. -LUik
