STAFF CREDITS On June 16, 1958, the keel was laid for the first de- stroyer planned and built as a guided missile ship for the United States Navy, at Bath Iron Works, Bath, Maine. This was the birth of USS CHARLES F. ADAMS (DDG- 2), first of 21 ships of her class. She is named for Charles Francis Adams, great, great grandson of John Adams, second president of the United States. Charles F. Adams was noted for his untir- ing efforts to keep the Navy a power in international af- fairs while Secretary of the Navy in 1929-1933, in spite of an apathetic and economy minded public. A fine yachtsman, Charles F. Adams captured the 1921 Ameri- ca ' s Cup winner. USS CHARLES F. ADAMS was launched on Maine ' s Kennebec River on September 8, 1959 by Mrs. Robert Romans, sister of the namesake. Equiped with ASROC, TARTAR guided missile sys- tem, six conventional Torpedo tubes and two 5 54 cali- ber gun mounts, CHARLES F. ADAMS conducted inten- sive technical evaluations following her commissioning. CHARLES F. ADAMS participated in Project Mercu- ry manned space flight recovery operations in the Fall of 1962. Following CDR Schirra ' s orbital flight on Octo- ber 3, 1962 and the successful recovery, CHARLES F. ADAMS proceeded to Norfolk to commence her duties as surface to surface TARTAR missile school ship. This was a first, both for CHARLES F. ADAMS and the Navy. While engaged in these duties, the Cuban missile crisis developed and CHARLES F. ADAMS took her place in the Caribbean as one of the ships actively in- volved in the quarantine and surveillance operations. During Operation SPRINGBOARD 1964, CHARLES F. ADAMS along with two other ships, worked with USS SARATOGA (CV-60) to evaluate a new concept in tacti- cal formations, the first carrier task group. CHARLES F. ADAMS made the first of her Mediter- ranean deployments in November, 1964. In April 1 968, CHARLES F. ADAMS became only the second DDG in history to hit a surface target ship with a TARTAR missile.

FROM COMSIXTHFLT: As you head for home after a demanding SIXTHFLT Deployment, you have my thanks and appreciation for the tremendous support you have provided. Your professional performance - from excellent port visits, and V.I. P. embarkations, to Steller opera- tions during National and allied exercises - has been the source of pride for me. You have contrib- uted greatly to the sustained readiness of the SIXTHFLEET to support Naval objectives. Congratu- lations and well done for a superbly executed deployment. FROM CTG TWO FOUR: As you depart to continue your journey home, I want you, your offi- cers and crew to know that your performance throughout the deployment to the Mediterranean proved you to be a SUPERSTAR. Your accomplishments were many, including the highly visible mission as Eagle Control in the Aegean during Dragon Hammer and your extensive duties as mis- sile escort for CTF 61 during the Eastern Med contingency operations. It was noted with distinct pleasure that CHARLES F. ADAMS knows how to shoot her missiles - first time, every time. Your crew distinguished itself during your highly successful port visits. Your most recent success in the OPPE was in itself impressive and exemplifies the obvious pride and determination of your crew. CHARLES F. ADAMS is the oldest member of our Battle Group, but there isn ' t anyone I would rather have in company. FROM COMNAVSURFLANT: Congratulations and welcome home. You have done an out- standing job across the board of representing our Nation ' s interests. Your superb performance during exercise Dragon Hammer, high state of readiness throughout the deployment, and exem- plary conduct ashore are noted with great professional pride.
