Long Beach Naval Shipyard, 1968 In July 1962, GALVESTON departed Phila- delphia enroute to her new homeport of San Diego, California, and in October de- ployed to the Western Pacific for her maiden six-month cruise. She set and broke several replenishment records and won three gunnery E ' s in competitive exercises held off Okinawa. She set sail from San Diego for her second WESTPAC deployment in June 1965. In July GALVESTON first fired her guns in anger when she supported U.S. Marines in search- and-clear operations at Chu-Lai, Republic of Vietnam. One of the first major Naval vessels involved in the Vietnam conflict, her guns became well known all along the coast of the Republic of Vietnam from the Gulf of Siam to the I Corps area near DaNang. She also conducted search and rescue opera- tions and provided air defense for the Seventh Fleet Fast Carrier Striking Group. She re- turned to San Diego in December 1965. 11
