Other features included an expanded electrical plant and increased endurance. Leahy carried over the propulsion plant of the Farragut class, fitted into a longer hull designed with a knuckled "hurricane" bow that reduced plunging in rough seas, thus keeping her forecastle dry as needed to operate the forward missile launcher. One of the principal missions of these ships, like their predecessors, the Farragut class, was to form part of the anti-air (AAW) and anti-submarine (ASW) screen for carrier task forces while also controlling aircraft from the carrier by providing vectors to assigned targets. The gun armament was reduced in order to carry a larger missile load. Leahy was the first of a new "double-ender" class fitted with Terrier (later Standard ER) missile launchers fore and aft, and the first and only frigate class designed without a main gun battery for shore bombardment or ship-vs.-ship engagements. After another 11 years in the reserve fleet, she was scrapped in Brownsville, Texas, in 2005. After more than 31 years of active service all over the globe, the "Sweet 16" was decommissioned on 1 October 1993. Leahy served longer than any other ship of her class. Over the course of her sixteen major deployments, Leahy made port calls on six continents-North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. She steamed far north to Leningrad, Russia, and the Aleutian Islands and far south for two passages through the Straits of Magellan. She traveled the seas from the easternmost end of the Mediterranean to the westernmost edge of the Indian Ocean. She made six Mediterranean deployments ( Sixth Fleet), two UNITAS Latin America cruises and eight Western Pacific deployments ( Seventh Fleet), completed three Panama Canal transits, and crossed the equator over a dozen times. Leahy, she was commissioned on 4 August 1962 as DLG-16, a guided missile frigate, and reclassified as CG-16, a guided missile cruiser, on 30 June 1975.įrom 1962 to 1976, Leahy operated as a unit of the Atlantic Fleet and from 1976 to 1993 as a unit of the Pacific Fleet.
