USS Galveston (CLG-3)


"A 'Talos' missile roars off the fantail of the Guided Missile Cruiser USS Galveston (CLG-3) in the Caribbean Sea. The deadly 'Talos', which has been in the testing stages for the past three years, was again proven operational last month when the Galveston, the ship that first fired the missile in 1958, made history again by completing the longest range 'Talos' firing at sea." (Quoted from the original photo caption, released by the ship's Public Information Office on 17 March 1961.)
