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1968-1969, following reclassification from guided missile heavy cruiser (CAG-2) to heavy cruiser (CA-70) to reflect the outdated nature of her "Terrier" guided missile system.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.
