Summary

Description

The U.S. Navy guided missile cruisers USS Albany (CG-10) and USS Columbus (CG-12) at Naval Station Roosevelt Roads, Puerto Rico, in 1972. The guided missile destroyer USS Dewey (DLG-14) is partially visible on the left.

Note the SPS-48 radar on Albanys forward mack. It signifies the modernisation of Albany in 1967-1968. USS Chicago (CG-11) was also modernized, only Columbus received no modernization. She still carries SPS-30 radar forward. This was the reason that Columbus was already retired in 1975, five years earlier than her sister ships.
