USS Canberra (CA-70)
Underway circa 1968-1969, following reclassification from guided
missile heavy cruiser (CAG-2) to heavy cruiser (CA-70) to reflect
the outdated nature of her "Terrier" guided missile
system. Though still present in this photograph, the missile
launchers and radars of that system were removed during March-July
1969.
The original print was received by "All Hands" magazine
on 29 September 1969.
