v The USS MITSCHER named after Admiral Marc A. Mits- cher, Commander of Task Force 58 in the Pacific during World War II, was built at Bath Iron Works, Maine in the early 1950's. She was commission ed DL-2, in 1953, and served in the Atlantic Fleet. In 1966, MITSCHER was selected for conversion to a guided missile destroyer, and entered the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard, where she was updated with the latest weapon systems. She was recommissioned DDG-35 in 1968, and joined the Sec ond Fleet during her post conversion shakedown. In August of 1970, MITSCHER made her first post conver- sion deployment to the Mediterranean, where she visited9 ports in 5 countries. She was awarded the M e r i t o rio u s Unit Com- mendation, for her performance during the Middle East Contin- gency in September, 1970, while with the Sixth Fleet. After a short stand down period, MITSCHER participated in the missile firing exercise, Rimex 3-71, in May. In early June she returned to Norfolk, and began preparations for deployment to the Mediterranean on July 6, 1971. It is here that our story begins.
