| 57k | George Dewey, born 26 December 1837 in Montpelier, Vt., graduated from the Naval Academy in 1858 and after varied important service assumed command of the Asiatic Station 3 January 1898, with his flag in the protected cruiser Olympia. On the night of 30 April 1898 Admiral Dewey led his squadron into Manila Bay and the next morning in 2 hours destroyed the Spanish fleet without a single American loss. Admiral Dewey was relieved of his command 4 October 1899 and ordered to Washington, D.C., where he was designated President of the General Board. On 24 March 1903 he was commissioned Admiral of the Navy, a rank created for him, which he held until his death 16 January 1917. | Steven A. Cardali |

| 129k | Official US Navy Photograph taken of the USS Dewey (DLG-14), under going AAW Modernization at Philadelphia Naval Shipyard in 1970. Dewey was decommissioned 21 November 1969 for an extensive 15-month conversion as part of the Navy's Anti-Air Warfare Modernization Program. New radar and electronics were installed to replace less efficient units. The missile system was modified to permit the firing of two next generation missiles and to operate against sophisticated enemy countermeasures. The Naval Tactical Data System was also installed enabling Dewey to exchange digital information by computer-to-computer radio links with similarly equipped ships and aircraft. She was then capable of making rapid and accurate identification, as well as precise control of weapons. | Robert M. Cieri |
