USS Boston (CAG-1)
Underway, circa 1965.
This photograph was received from Commander Cruiser-Destroyer
Force, Atlantic Fleet, in June 1965. Note that the large antenna
for a SPS-37A (or SPS-43A) air search radar is now located atop
Boston's mainmast, replaced on the pedestal aft of that
mast by a SPS-30 height finding radar. Her TACAN (Tactical Air
Navigation) "pot" has been moved from the mainmast
to the foremast.
