Thank you for this wonderful video. I was aboard the USS CHICAGO CG11 from 1969 to 1973, and my service in the Navy made me the better person I am today.
This video gave me goosebumps. This ship was one of my first models in junior high school - i'm sure that turned out like crap not knowing anything about modeling. And I actually lived in Long Beach, CA at the time. My first ship (FF-1066) was pulling out of San Diego and I saw the LB moored at Point Loma Navy Base with everything above the 01 level GONE!!! As the image at 11:48 shows. Decommissioning is so heart wrenching. My first ship was sunk off Veracruz, MX a few years ago and my second ship (CV-63) is in its last days in Brownsville, TX.
I was aboard the U.S.S Long Beach CGN-9 from 1971 in Mare Island Navel Shipyard to December 1974 Subic Bay Phillipines.I was assigned to M Division & Later A Division. Got into Air Conditioning as a result of this Ship. Good Video ,Great memories Thanks.
Good video. Left out the AN/SPG-49 tracking radars for the Talos missiles. I was aboard (FA Div) '63-65 for the world cruise. Personal note: New Zealand knows how to throw a party! Before we got to Wellington, they had arranged for locals to sign up to take American sailors home for dinner. We had a blast!
Good job. I had the pleasure of being deployed incompany of this distinguished vessel (c. 1980s). She was both a handsome ship; as too, projecting an intimidating presence.
My dad was one of adm Rickovers boys, he was assigned to uss Long Beach in December 1959.
My third class NROTC 1974 summer cruise was on USS Long Beach. Very interesting getting my sea legs on this ship. Remember to this day how big the Talos missile house and the missiles themselves were.
I was aboard USS Missouri from 1985 thru 1989. Long Beach was part of our battle group from 1986 on, including our 100 days at sea during the Iranian tanker wars. The idea of nuclear powered ships being more costly that oil burners is nuts. The ability of a cruiser or destroyer to go fast and get to a trouble spot without being tied to a pokey oiler. Nimitz, Texas and California had to go from Naples, Italy to the Arabian Sea when the Ayatollah raided our embassy. No stops except a few hours at the equator for the mandatory Shellback Initiation until we reached the Iranian trouble zone nick named, Gonzo Station, after a famous Muppet. The oil burning part of the battle group arrived a week later due to requirements for fuel economy. Yes, I was on Nimitz too.
The USS Longbeach was one of the baddest ships this country has ever built
I served On The USS Long Beach CGN-9 from ‘90 - ‘94 and went to the Persian Gulf with Her in ‘91 and Bremerton in ‘92, Great Ship and Awesome Crew. In ‘91 on the way to the War in Iraq we stopped in Hawaii, Subic Bay, Philippines and when there ( either on the way there or on the way back from ) we help evacuate the US military personnel and families from the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo ( I think it was after the gulf ) also we hit Phuket, Thailand, Hong Kong ( then a British territory ) then we entered the Gulf and went to Bahrain, Abu Dhabi, and Dhubai.. The Gulf is terrible HOT and it was dark during the day as the Kuwaiti Oilfields were burning and hard to breathe.. Great Ship and Great Memories..⚓️🇺🇸
An amazing ship with an even more amazing career! I served from 79 to 85 but as an East Coast sailor never got to see her in person as she was a west coast ship at that time. So sad she was decommed with only a 2 year old reactor core! The loss of capability without our nuclear cruiser fleet to me cannot be overstated. Very much like the loss of fleet air defense without the F-14 Tomcat.
We studied and memorized Long Beach in the Naval Gunfire Spotters Course....
Excellent.....great info !
Glad you enjoyed it!
Look it is the"Block head!"

With all these Radars and the nuclear plant, did the crew have an unusual amount of radiation exposure related health issues? Did anyone notice any more of a cancer risk versus other surface ships?
I was aboard 63-65. I'm 80. No issues.
@@terry9370 I was just wondering if anyone had studied the issue?
