Title: USS Boston (CAG-1)
Description: View of the ship's after portion, as she prepares for underway refueling, 15 July 1959. The photograph shows both of her launchers for Terrier guided missiles, with a pair of Mark 25 Mod 7 guidance radars just ahead of them. An antenna for a SPS-12 radar is atop the pedestal at the right side of the image, with Boston's after starboard 5/38 twin gun mount below. Note the refueling boom rigged alongside the forward missile launcher, and the destroyer Blandy in the left center background. This print features the large NAVY block frequently used in official public release photographs during the later 1950s. Official U.S. Navy Photograph, from the collections of the Naval History and Heritage Command.
