Title: USS Hazelwood
Description: (DD-531) Steaming near Newport, Rhode Island circa 1959-1960, following conversion to the Navy's first Drone Anti-Submarine Helicopter (DASH) equipped destroyer. While attached to Destroyer Development Group Two she underwent extensive training exercises to acquaint her crew with air operations. Pending availability of the Gyrodyne DSN-1 drone helicopter, she operated a Kaman HTK helicopter with a safety pilot. The DSN-1, with homing torpedo armament, was intended to provide surface ships with longer-range anti-submarine capabilities.
