APRIL 1964 The first ten days of April were spent operating independently in the Virginia Capes and fueling from U.S.S. CALOOSAHATCHEE CAO-985 on April 7. She rested at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard, Ports- mouth, Virginia from April 10 to April 29 for replacement of her tropospherio scatter communications system antenna. A newer, im-' proved model was installed. The Norfolk Sub-Board of Inspection and Survey conducted their inspection during this time. The INSURV board declared the ship ready to play her part in battle and assigned a grade of Outstanding -a feat accomplished by few ships in this modern-day Navy. On April 26 in the last days of the shipyard period, an event rare in the course of a ship's history occurred. The commanding officer, Captain Edward E. Conrad, USN, was stricken with an illness which required immediate attention and hospitalization. The ship, scheduled to leave the shipyard on April 29 for a visit to New York City was without her first in command. ln a real vote of confidence for NORTHAlVlPTON's capable teamwork and leadership, the Navy's higher authorities chose the ship's executive officer, Commander Levio E. Zeni, USN, to command her during the illness of Captain Conrad. As NORTHAMPTON departed the shipyard on April 29, she passed the Naval hospital and rendered traditional passing honors to the stricken skipper, and proceeded to sea on her regularly assigned duties.

. . . The alert performance of NORTHAMPTON in proceeding to the scene, assuming duties as on-scene command- er, and launching of the helicopter to render assistance was in keeping with the traditions of seamen the world over in going to the aid of their fellow mariners. I congratulate the officers and men of NORTHAMPTON on their demonstration of readiness and smart seamanshipi' - NORTHAlVIPTON,s Flotilla Commander, Rear Admiral Ben W. Sarver, USN.

MAY 1964 On May 3, NORTHAMPTON moored at the French Line piers of New York City for a four day visit to the bus- tling Worldis Fair City.
