Missiles of the Navy - Part 1

[OldMangoe]

The building shown immediately after NRL is the entrance to the Naval Ordinance Lab, not APL.

......the germans had the first air launched anti-ship missile, not amerikans.......

A couple of minor corrections:

Eisenhower CVN-69 not in video and was probably not built at this time.

CV-41 is Midway.

The converted gun cruiser at approx 4 min is most likely Boston CAG-1 or Canberra CAG-2 with the two Terrier launchers aft.

The Talos was used on seven cruisers.. Three converted light cruisers: Galveston CLG-3 (ex CL-93) Little Rock CLG-4 (ex CL-92) Oklahoma City CLG-5 (ex CL-91) These had Talos aft and 6" guns forward. Three converted heavy cruisers: Albany CG-10 (ex CA-123) Chicago CG-11 (ex CA-136) Columbus CG-12 (ex CA-74) These had Talos fore and aft. The last new cruiser, (all current cruisers are re-designated destroyers), Long Beach CGN-9 had Talos aft and two Terrier launchers forward.

The "new cruiser" in this video is the Galveston, not the Long Beach. You can see the "3" on the side. The Long Beach was the only "new" Talos cruiser. The commentator meant to say newly commissioned.
