Med-moored in Barcelona, Spain, on July 11, 1979, alongside
the Farragut-class guided missile destroyer USS
King (DDG 41). Though they looked quite different, both were built
as guided missile "frigates" (DLG) -- the Leahy class being, in fact, the immediate
successors to the Farragut class. On 30 June 1975, the Leahy class were reclassified
as "cruisers", while the Farragut class became "destroyers". Note Richmond
K. Turner was fitted with Harpoon launchers aft, replacing 3"/50 twin
gun mounts. |

The forward superstructure had an impressive appearance.
This photo (taken in Barcelona, Spain, on 29 November 1980) shows the ASROC
launcher, the forward pair of SPG-55B missile guidance radars (one of
them partially hidden by a SATCOM antenna), the SPS-48 3D radar, and a
set of ESM/ECM antennas, some of them covered under radomes, some uncovered,
and some cantilevered out from the ship's structure. |

This view (29 November 1980) shows the aft missile launcher
and missile guidance radars. Note the TACAN and 2D air search radar on
the after "mack", and a quad Harpoon canister in place of a twin 3"/50
gun mount. Phalanx had not yet been installed. |
