Port side view while underway, date and location unknown but note that
she only has one forward and one aft AN/SPG-55 radar so this is probably
soon after commissioning. There was a shortage of these antennas as
the (then) new MK-76 MFCS equipped ships were being built due to a strike
at Sperry Rand (the manufacturer) and many of these ships were commissioned
with only one radar per launcher until production could catch up with
demand.

USS Halsey during completion of her air warfare upgrade
at Bath Iron Works. At the time, Halsey still only carried two
of the four total AN/SPG-55B missile targeting radars it was designed
to carry. Those other two were later installed not long after Halsey’s
return to home port San Diego in 1973. The image appears to have been
snapped while Halsey was underway on the Kennebec River possibly
at Squirrel Point Light downriver from Bath, Maine in late 1972, possibly
while still in control of Bath Iron Works. |
