SALEM and NEWPORT NEWS were twins. SALEM spent its active duty as a very effective deterrent. She is preserved today, and if not for lack of imagination and funds could serve again as one tough surface combatant.

USA was defeated by Vietnam, however so many people in Vietnam had to die for the peace and independence T_T

Thanks for the comment, Shipmate. For others reading this, Fred served with me on Thunder during the Cuban Missile Crisis. I've often said that I was more affraid that one day in 1962, alongside a Ruskie ship, than I was 5 years later when 28 different N Viet gun sites were shooting at us. Dexter

Dexter, as always you are keeping the memories alive for those who served our country. The News was the epitome of a Naval Ship. I am thankful we both served on her. Fred Sturgeon

USS WISCONSIN BATTLESHIP 16IN GUNFIREby dennilfloss956,082 views
My father served aboard the uss salem 139. It didnt get to see any combat to my knowlege its entire life span, but i hear the New Port News was it's sister ship. He was the last to disembark off the salem decommissioning in 1959. I suppose to not have any combat experience, also may mean it did it's job well also in detering over the years , I wish i could see the two ships . Dad longed to show us boys the two ships.
