The missi1e's wings are put in place prior to firing. 'L I ,. ,nr T LOS Scores I Firing Tests GALVESTON fired two TALOS mis- siles during her stay in the Med, one of which was a direct hit. The TALOS missile is designed to destroy enemy aircraft at stratospheric altitudes. It is accelerated to aspeed faster than a bullet by a solid fuel rocket booster. The booster is jettisoned when TALOS reaches its cruising speed and the main tram-jet engine takes over. TALOS has two brain systems. The first one guides the missile from the launcher to the target area. The second, or homing brain senses the target. A few seconds after the button is pushed TALOS is moving toward the target at a speed faster than a bullet.

Religion Helped Make row Chaplain Linzey, the ship's Chaplain, was responsible for religious activities dur- ing the deployment. Each Sunday divine services for both Protestant and Catholic personnel were .conducted on the mess decks. Chaplain Linzey often was called upon to hold services on other ships in company with GALVESTON which did not have Chaplains aboard. In order to make this possible, he was transferred to them by helicopter. For many of GALVESTON's Roman Catholic services at sea a Roman Catholic priest was heloed aboard from the aircraft carrier. In port an English speaking priest usually came aboard for confessions and mass. Above: A Roman Catholic priest says mass OH the H1955 decks.
